Joint
studies between Algonquin College (GIS Technologist Program) and Carleton
University (B.A. in Geography)
General Information
This program
of joint studies permits students to work concurrently towards an Algonquin
College diploma and a Carleton University B.A. General degree. Students in
Algonquin College’s GIS Technologist program must apply both to Algonquin
College and to Carleton University’s School of Continuing Education for
registration as a Special student.
Admission Requirements
During their program of study at Algonquin College, students will take 5.0
Carleton credits as a Special student, including 2.5 credits in Geography
including: GEOG 1001 [1.0], (GEOG 1100 or GEOG 2100) and 1.0 credit from
GEOG 2101, GEOG 2200 and GEOG 2300.
After successful completion
of the Algonquin College GIS Technologist Diploma, candidates may apply for
admission to a B.A. degree in Geography at Carleton University. To be admitted,
candidates must:
- Graduate from Algonquin
College with at least an Algonquin G.P.A. of 3.0 in the courses eligible
for transfer to Carleton. Candidates should consult with the GIS Technologist
adviser at Algonquin College or the B.A. program adviser at Carleton for
a list of such courses.
- Have obtained an overall
average in their Carleton courses to meet the requirements for continuation
in the B.A. General.
Students admitted to Carleton
may receive the following credits on the basis of study at Algonquin College:
