Qualifications

Competitive MPA admission candidates will hold a four-year undergraduate degree, with a minimum B+ standing in at least their last two years of study (or the equivalent). Applicants are not required to write the GRE or GMAT.

  • Two sets of official transcripts from colleges and/or universities previously attended. These should include academic records of all undergraduate programs and subsequent graduate work, and should specify the courses taken, the grades, and the standing obtained. The transcripts become the property of Queen's University and are not available for copying.
  • Two academic recommendations are required, typically from professors under whom the applicant has studied.

Review of Applications

Admission decisions are made on a competitive basis among qualified applicants each year. As the number of applications greatly exceeds the number of available places, not all qualified candidates will be offered admission. An applicant should note that no decision on admission can be made until the applicant's file is complete. It is the responsibility of the applicant to verify that Queen's has received all documents. You may check online to see if your file is complete.

The review of MPA applications begins in February. Successful MPA candidates may expect to receive notice of their admission no later than 15 April. A second review of MPA applications, being held on a waiting list, may take place in the early summer or later, as places become available prior to the start of classes in September. 

Formal offers of admission are issued by the School of Graduate Studies.
