Admission to Applied Climate Change and Adaptation

Students can apply directly from high school to the UPEI Bachelor of Science in Applied Climate Change and Adaptation program. Admission will be capped at 40 students, with two of the 40 seats dedicated for Aboriginal students. Students of the program will progress as a cohort. All eligible first year candidates are considered for admission based on their average in Grade 12: Academic English, Academic Math, and two Academic Sciences from the following list (Academic Chemistry, Academic Biology, Academic Physics); one other Grade 12 Academic subject; minimum overall average of 70% with no individual grade below 65%.

Applicants whose average in English, Math and two of Biology, Chemistry, or Physics, is 89% and above when final results for first semester grades are obtained will receive an “Early Offer” of admittance. All other applicants will be ranked.

In an effort to support a diverse cohort and build a program with global perspectives and global knowledge transfer opportunities, UPEI encourages applications from domestic and international students.
