To be admitted to the MSc in Management Analytics and Master of Finance double degree program, students must meet the general admission requirements of the university and must possess a four-year degree in business, economics or a quantitative discipline such as Operations Research, Mathematics, Statistics, Actuarial Sciences, Physics, Chemistry, Life Sciences or Engineering Sciences. To be considered, applicants should have:

• A minimum overall GPA of B+ in the final two years.
• A course in each of calculus and statistics with a grade of at least B+ in each of these courses.
• An intermediate level course in each of finance, economics, and accounting with a grade of at least B+ in each of these courses. Achieving 50^th percentile in the three subjects in the CFA Level I examination is considered to be equivalent.
• A minimum GMAT score of 620 (or GRE equivalent). GMAT can be waived for applicants who passed CFA Level I examination.

The first consideration deadline is Jan. 15*, at which time the admissions committee will review completed applications. Following the early deadline, the admissions committee considers applications on a rolling basis. Offers of admission are awarded to successful candidates until the program is full.

After you have submitted your OUAC application, paid the non-refundable application fee, and Laurier has received your application, you'll receive an email from gradadmissions@wlu.ca advising you to upload the additional required documentation to Laurier's Online Registration and Information System (LORIS).

For our Master of Finance and Master of Science in Management Analytics program, you must include:

• The OUAC Application Summary, which is generated after you complete your OUAC application (log into OUAC to retrieve it).
• Transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work.
• A completed statement of intent.
• A resume of your academic and work experience. Include a history of your publication and scholarly paper activity and any other information you feel will interest the admissions committee.
• Completed reference forms. Reference forms are electronically submitted to Laurier by the reference and do not need to be uploaded.
• IELTS or TOEFL scores (if your native language is not English and you did not complete your most recent degree in English medium).

*Note: Your application should be complete (OUAC application completed and supplemental documents and references submitted) by this date. This process normally takes at least two weeks. Please apply through OUAC as early as possible.

Proficiency in written and spoken English is essential to graduate studies at Laurier. Applicants whose first language is not English and who have not completed an undergraduate or graduate degree at an institution where English is the language of instruction are required to provide evidence of English language proficiency. Normally this evidence is a score of at least 100 in TOEFL or at least 7 in IELTS. If applicable, results from accepted testing services must be uploaded to LORIS.

If you pay all or part of your tuition fees yourself, a Tuition Tax Credit is available. Consult with a professional tax advisor for more information.
