Laddering Into Master Degree Program

Students who wish to complete one of our Master degree programs after completing a Master Certificate program must submit a new application and meet all admission requirements for their Master degree program of choice. These students may apply their Master Certificate courses to the following Levene graduate degree programs: M. Admin Leadership, MHRM, and MBA in General Management. When laddering into a degree program, contact Business.Recruitment@uregina.ca to waive your new application fee!

Students may concurrently hold a Master Certificate and Master degree, using the same courses for both credentials. This means that a student can earn a Master Certificate, apply for entry and be accepted into the MHRM, M. Admin Leadership, or MBA General Management program, then take the additional courses required to earn their graduate degree.
