This section presents the requirements for the programs:
Graduation Requirements
In addition to the requirements listed below, students must satisfy:
- the University regulations (see the Academic Regulations of the
University section of this Calendar),
- the Faculty regulations applying to all B.A. students including those
relating to First-Year Seminars and Breadth requirements (see the Academic
Regulations and Requirements for the Bachelor of Arts Degree).
Students should consult with the School of Journalism and Communication
when selecting courses and planning their program.
Academic Performance Evaluation for Mass Communication
Students in Mass Communication are subject to the standard process of
Academic Performance Evaluation, with the following additions:
1. Continuation to Second Year in the Mass Communication Program
Continuation to second year in Good Standing requires that students complete
5.0 credits in first year, achieve a grade of B-or better in MCOM 1101
and have an Overall CGPA of at least 7.00.
A student who is not in Good Standing at the first academic performance
evaluation must leave the program, with status Ineligible to Return.
The School also maintains a number of places in second year for students
who wish to transfer from Carleton University or elsewhere. These spaces
are limited and it may not be possible to grant admission to all applicants.
Admission therefore will be on a selective basis with preference given
to those candidates who show the highest promise of success. Normally,
offers are made to students with an Overall CGPA of 10.00 or better.
2. Continuation in Good Standing at subsequent Academic Performance
Evaluations requires the standard minimum Major CGPA and Overall CGPA
(see the Academic Regulations section of this Calendar for details).
