An applicant who holds an undergraduate degree (either from the University of Alberta or another university) and who wishes to pursue a degree in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences must satisfy all admission requirements (see §15.1), as well as program, academic standing and graduation requirements of the particular degree program (see §§33.4 and 34). The total number of units of course weight required to satisfy the program requirements will vary depending on the degree held and the degree sought; however, a minimum of 54 will always be required. In some cases, more than 54 will be required depending on the applicability of courses completed as part of the first degree. The specific course requirements are determined by transfer credit assessment at the time of admission.

Any deficiency in a matriculation requirement or a high school prerequisite to a program requirement must be cleared before admission to the degree program.

A minimum of 54 must be completed while registered at the University of Alberta, 30 of which must be completed while registered in the Faculty of Agricultural, Life and Environmental Sciences.

The degree program selected may be the same as the first degree program if another major is selected.

Combined degree programs are not available to students who already have one of the two degrees.
