This section presents the
requirements for the programs:
A Co-operative Education
Option is available within the Mass Communication Honours degree (consult
the Co-operative Education section of this Calendar for details).
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

Academic
Performance Evaluation for Mass Communication
Students in Mass Communication
are subject to the standard process of Academic Performance Evaluation, with
the following additions:
- Continuation
to Second Year in the Mass Communication Program
Continuation to
second year in Good Standing requires that students successfully complete
at least 5.0 credits, achieve a grade of B- or better in MCOM 1101
and have an Overall CGPA of at least 7.00.
Students who fail to meet these requirements when seeking continuation
to 2nd year Mass Communication must leave the program with the status Suspension.
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.
- 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).
