Admission Requirements for Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas

Please see below for the admission requirements for StFX's various Post-Baccalaureate Diplomas.

Post-Baccalaureate Diploma in Artificial Intelligence
  • Completion of a four year-undergraduate degree from a recognized university with a cumulative average of 70% or higher in the applicant’s undergraduate program.
  • One Computer Science course in a programming language (or equivalent).
  • For International Students: Students with an IELTS score of 6.5 and no band below 6.0 will be deemed to have satisfied the English language requirements for admission to graduate programs. Recognized English Language Proficiency Tests.
  • Students with an undergraduate degree in Computer Science may be eligible to apply to either of our two Master’s programs in Computer Science. Click here for more details.
  • Students must have completed a university-level statistics course prior to beginning semester 3 of the program. Students who have not taken a statistics course as part of their undergraduate degree can complete Stat 231 - Statistics for Students in the Sciences while at StFX. In the case where this Statistics course is taken at StFX, the 3 credits received for the course becomes an additional requirement for the program. (i.e., The total number of completed credits at StFX will be 52, instead of 48).
  •  A supplemental application with all the components is required.

The program is not intended for students who have significant undergraduate courses in Computer Science. Those students will likely be better positioned to complete a second degree (e.g. Major, Adv Major, or Honours in CS) or to enroll in the Master of Applied Computer Science at StFX.
