Dalhousie requires a minimum GPA of 3.0 in the last two years (60 credits) in a related four-year undergraduate degree or equivalent. Although 3.0 is the minimum acceptable GPA, the MES is a competitive program and the majority of our students hold a 3.7 GPA in their last two years or study. This GPA additionally enables our students to equalify for scholarship.
