human nature

Admission Requirements

Admission to the program requires the completion

of English 12 with a grade of "C" or better or written
permission of the Instructor and School Chair. Other
prerequisites depend on the electives chosen to
complete the program and should be determined with
the advice of a Selkirk College counsellor.

If you are a student who lacks the admission
requirements, you may still gain entry to the program
by taking a combination of upgrading and university

and Austen, we continue our pilgrimage into culture,
