If you are a McGill student, have not graduated, and wish to transfer into another undergraduate faculty, you may apply using the Minerva Faculty Transfer/Readmission Menu.
Transferring into the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences
Transfer applicants must have completed Calculus 1 for science along with at least two other basic science courses (biology, chemistry, and physics) to be considered for admission in a program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences (excluding Dietetics). The remaining basic science courses will have to be completed based on the program requirements.
Any transfer or readmission to a program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Sciences requires a student to be in satisfactory standing.
CGPA requirements
Agricultural and Environmental Sciences, Food Science, concurrent Food Science/Nutritional Sciences and Bioresource Engineering degrees: minimum 2.7 CGPA
B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences), major in Nutrition: minimum 3.0 CGPA
B.Sc. (Nutritional Sciences), major in Dietetics: minimum 3.3 CGPA
Additional requirements for the Dietetics major
Candidates applying to transfer to the Dietetics Major must have a minimum 3.30 CGPA in a nutrition, health, or science-related program. The Dietetics major is a professional program and requires French proficiency.
Priority will be given to applicants who have been carrying a full course load (at least 12 credits per semester) and have completed all entrance science pre-requisite courses.
In the event that the number of transfer applicants with a CGPA of 3.30 or higher exceeds the program's capacity, then the CGPA cut-off could be higher than 3.30 (for Fall 2023 and Fall 2024, the cut-off was minimum of 3.30 CGPA).
The Dietetics major takes 3.5 years to complete, from the time of transfer to the first fall semester, due to the sequencing of the stages (internships) in this integrated professional program.
