Alternative Entry Programs

The Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science offers three additional paths for students to pursue their engineering degrees:

Mature Entry Program

Extended Credit Program

Kaié:ri Nikawerà:ke Indigenous Bridging Program

Mature Entry Program

Please see Section 14.2.3 Gina Cody School of Engineering and Computer Science for details regarding the Engineering Mature Entry Requirements.

Extended Credit Program

	Students admitted to an Extended Credit Program under the provisions of Section 13.3 Admission Requirements or under Section 13.8 Selection Process and Notification must successfully complete the requirements of a specific program, as set out in Section 71.30 Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering to Section 71.55 Aerospace Engineering and in Section 71.70.9 Degree Requirements for the BEng in Software Engineering, plus the following courses:
	• CHEM 205 General Chemistry I (3.00) • MATH 203 Differential and Integral Calculus I (3.00) • MATH 204 Vectors and Matrices (3.00) • MATH 205 Differential and Integral Calculus II (3.00) • PHYS 204 Mechanics (3.00) • PHYS 205 Electricity and Magnetism (3.00)
	Six credits of Natural Science Electives chosen from the list below.
	Six credits chosen from courses in Humanities and Social Sciences. English as a Second Language (ESL) Courses and courses that focus on the acquisition of a language may not be used to meet this requirement.

Kaié:ri Nikawerà:ke Indigenous Bridging Program

The Kaié:ri Nikawerà:ke Indigenous Bridging Program is offered to eligible Indigenous students, specifically First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples whose communities are located in Canada, who do not meet the normal admission requirements. Students will acquire the prerequisite courses and skills in order to access and transition into the undergraduate program of their choice at Concordia University. For the admissions criteria, please see Section 14.5 Admission as a Kaié:ri Nikawerà:ke Indigenous Bridging Program Student.

Please see the Kaié:ri Nikawerà:ke Indigenous Bridging Program website for more information:
