  1. Recommended CGPA of 3.00 (or higher). Subject to competition, grades above the minimum may be required
  2. Evidence of superior oral and written communication skills
  3. Interview
  4. Resume/Cover Letter

Students commence work terms upon completion of third year of the Business Management program and the co-op program extends the Real Estate Management program to five years from four.
