The Pre-Masters Program (PMP) provides international students with the academic and language skills they need to be successful in the Master of Administrative Science (MAS), Master of Hospitality Management Studies (MHMS), and Master of Science in Applied Computer Science (MSACS) degree programs.

Students who enroll in the program meet all the academic admission requirements but require additional preparation in academic reading, writing, and research skills for their studies in English at the graduate level. Students benefit from support in adjusting to a new culture in Canada and from the opportunity to focus on learning, reviewing, and upgrading skills necessary for success in a North American university.

A students placement in this program is based on the outcome of an academic writing test.
