Admission Requirements: The programme page does not set its own admission criteria; it directs applicants to the Faculty of Arts entry in UNB's admission requirements tool. UNB's published Bachelor of Arts minimums (New Brunswick applicants) require the overall average of Grade 12 academic (New Brunswick level 2, or the equivalent level-1, French Immersion or advanced course) university-preparatory marks in English 122/Français 10411 at a minimum grade of 60%, four further electives from Group 1, and one additional elective from Group 1, 2 or 3, for a minimum admission average of 65%; meeting the minimum does not guarantee a seat. International applicants follow the same course requirements and must also meet UNB's English-language requirement, which for Bachelor of Arts programmes at Fredericton sits at the university's higher bar rather than its general minimum: IELTS Academic 7.0 (or equivalent), TOEFL iBT 100 for tests taken before 2026 or 5.0 overall with no component below 5.0 from January 2026, Duolingo English Test 130, Pearson PTE Academic 68, CAEL 80, or Cambridge English (C1 Advanced) 190.
