International Conditional Admittance

If your English is not strong enough to embark on a full-time Master's Program in TESOL, but your other application documentation is acceptable, Saint Michael's may offer you conditional admittance into its MATESOL program. This entails, however, that you must complete our Intensive English courses or supply the required TOEFL/IELTS results before transferring to the Master's Program.
