| Prerequisites Notes | The Bachelor of Professional Arts is designed for students who have completed an approved 2-year diploma or equivalent from an accredited college or institute of technology.
If you don’t have a diploma, you may want to consider our University Certificate in Public Administration. A combination of the certificate (or other post-secondary education) and related work experience may give you entrance to the Bachelor of Professional Arts program (see "Transfer credit" tab).
You will be considered a pre-program student until your admission requirements are confirmed. You can still take courses during this time.
In addition, applicants must also complete AU’s English Language Assessment (ELA) prior to being enrolled in the program. | | |
