Admission to the program depends on the availability of Graduate Advisors and financial resources, and by the need to admit applicants from a variety of disciplines and backgrounds. The interaction of students with diverse backgrounds greatly enhances the multidisciplinary approaches in the program. The program also seeks to achieve the significant participation of women and Indigenous people. Applicants should consult with a potential Advisor before applying. The Program Assistant ensures that application files are complete for review by the Admission Committee. If that review is successful, the Program Coordinator confirms the willingness of the Advisor to take on the applicant, and recommends the applicant for admission to the Office of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies. Moreover, you need to submit:

• Transcripts
• Recommendation Letter
• Letter of Intent (Statement of Purpose)
