Future Undergrad // Admissions
From SFU
Last updated May 3, 2012
Students who start in a program outside of SIAT at SFU need to meet the following requirements for admission into SIAT:
- Entry to the Interactive Arts and Technology program is competitive. Admission CGPA will fluctuate semester to semester based on number of applicants to number of seats available. For reference, the minimum CGPA for Fall 2011 admission was 2.70. CGPA requirement is subject to change. We encourage students with a 2.50 or higher to apply but we don't guarantee admission until a 2.70. You may find SFU's CGPA calculators to be useful in setting CGPA and course grade targets.
- At a minimum, 18 credits including the following, which must be completed at the time of application:
- Major/Joint Major:
- 18 units from the lower division core courses of: CMPT 166, MATH 130, MACM 101, IAT 100, 102, 103W, 106, 167, 201, 202, 206W, 222, 233, 235, 265, 267.
