Admission to Asper Directly from High School

Admission Details

Effective September 2011, eligible students can apply to enter the Asper School of Business directly out of high school.

This new option means that eligible students will have the choice of applying directly to the Asper School of Business upon completion of high school. They will also have the option of entering University 1 and applying to the Asper School after their first year of university studies. The direct entry option would provide students with the access to supports and services offered by the Asper School of Business in their first year. The University 1 route would give students access to supports and services offered by University 1 along with the flexibility to take courses from a variety of areas which would keep multiple degree options open to them. This change is about providing students with additional choices and opportunities.
In order for a student to be eligible to apply directly after high school to the Asper School of Business for September 2011, they must meet the criteria listed below:

  1. Manitoba high school graduation (or equivalent), with 5 full credits at the Grade 12 level, in courses designated S, G or U.
  2. A minimum 85% average over three courses:
    • Pre-Calculus 40S or Applied Mathematics 40S (Pre-Calculus recommended)
    • English 40S
    • One other 40S or U course
  3. A minimum 60% in each of the three courses noted in point 2 above.
