• The MSc degree of the University of Prince Edward Island requires the demonstration of a reasonable mastery of a concentrated field of study.
  • The latter is attested by the achieving of satisfactory standings in the minimum number of graduate courses required by the respective Faculty, the completion of a research project, and the writing of a thesis based upon the research.
  • Substantive courses are graduate-level courses assigned a minimum of two credit hours. Students are required to complete courses totaling a minimum of twelve credit hours.
  • Within this course complement, there must be at least four substantive courses and the appropriate departmental Seminar course (one credit). Only one of the substantive courses may be a Directed Studies Course.
