Admissions Planning
Fall 2027 admission planning
Use the confirmed BEd opening without projecting the general cycle
StMU confirms that Fall 2027 BEd applications open October 1, 2026 and publishes a July 31 official-document date. Its general Fall 2027 application and BEd closing dates remain unpublished.
Regular high school
65%
Five approved senior subjects, including English 30-1.
Single-Entry
75%
Competitive BA/BSc plus BEd planning route.
Fall 2027 BEd
Opens Oct. 1, 2026
After-degree admission with a 2.5 recent-credit GPA minimum.
Identity and date check
Calgary facts only, and no rolled-forward deadline
This is St. Mary’s University Calgary, not Saint Mary’s University in Halifax. The general application table stops at Spring 2027, so the Fall 2026 closing dates are not reused for Fall 2027.
Admission route audit
| Route | Published requirement | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Alberta high school | High-school diploma and 65% or higher across five approved 30-level subjects, including English Language Arts 30-1 | Biology, Psychology, Business Transfer and some Liberal Studies concentrations add senior-subject requirements. |
| Other Canadian high school | Province-equivalent senior courses are used to satisfy StMU’s Alberta 30-level pattern | Ontario and other out-of-province applicants must arrange official transcripts and confirm course equivalencies. |
| Special admission | 60–64.9% across five approved subjects, or 65% across four including English 30-1, considered case by case | This probationary route does not apply to the Bachelor of Education. |
| Flexible Entry Pathway | 65% across five approved subjects using English 30-2, followed by a three-course Fall probationary bundle | A minimum C- in each course and 2.0 term GPA earns nine credits and progression to Arts and Science; additional program prerequisites remain. |
| Post-secondary transfer | At least 30 attempted or completed credits uses post-secondary standing; fewer than 30 uses high-school standing | Applicants below 2.0 cumulative GPA or previously required to withdraw may receive probationary special admission. |
| Mature admission | Age 21 by the term start and English 30-1 at 65% or GED 525, for Canadian citizens or permanent residents | Science, Psychology, Business Transfer and certain Liberal Studies concentrations retain subject prerequisites. |
| International undergraduate | Academic credentials, official translated documents where required, English evidence and the international application process | Current general IELTS language evidence requires no band below 6.0; BEd has a much higher separate standard. |
| BA/BSc plus BEd Single-Entry | Direct-from-high-school applicants need a 75% admission average and enter a competitive combined planning route | Students complete the first BA/BSc within five years and are reassessed; Single-Entry does not guarantee BEd admission. |
| BEd after-degree | Recognized prior degree and 2.5 GPA over the most recently attempted 30 undergraduate credits, plus stream prerequisites and supporting documents | Fall 2027 applications open October 1, 2026; Elementary and Secondary streams have different first-degree/course requirements. |

Programs and Pathways
Program and credential fit
Separate StMU degrees from pathways and professional destinations
StMU owns its listed Arts, Biology, Education and graduate credentials. Transfer, pre-law and health-profession preparation do not make the receiving institution’s credential a StMU program.
Bachelor of Arts
StMU’s directory presents eight BA degrees across three- and four-year formats, including English, History, Liberal Studies, Psychology and Social Justice and Catholic Studies.
Minors supplement four-year BA/BSc study; course availability in 35 disciplines does not mean every discipline is a StMU major.
Bachelor of Science Biology
A 120-credit Biology degree in a liberal-arts context, with hands-on study near Fish Creek Provincial Park and an independent research capstone.
Medicine, dentistry, nursing and other professional credentials named as career preparation are not StMU degrees.
Psychology
Three-year concentration and four-year major pathways, plus competitive Honours application after third year with supervised independent research.
Counselling, clinical psychology and other regulated careers may require graduate or professional education beyond this BA.
Social Justice and Catholic Studies
A four-year interdisciplinary BA with Social Justice or Catholic Studies emphasis and a final-year experiential course with a community partner.
This is a StMU-owned academic degree rooted in its Catholic intellectual tradition, not a credential belonging to a Calgary diocese or another university.
Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility
A business diploma connecting entrepreneurship, civil society and social justice, with work-integrated learning placements.
It is a StMU diploma, distinct from the separate Business Transfer pathway used to continue at another institution.
Bachelor of Education after-degree
Two-year Elementary K–6 and Secondary 7–12 streams with 60 credits, cohort delivery and 26 full-time practicum weeks.
Applicants already need a recognized first degree; stream prerequisites and competitive admission apply.
BA/BSc plus BEd Single-Entry
A high-school entry plan for completing a four-year StMU BA or BSc before the two-year BEd sequence.
The student is reassessed after the first degree; admission to Single-Entry is not guaranteed final BEd admission.
Master of Education in Catholic Leadership
A separate graduate route requiring a BEd, at least two years of successful teaching experience and minimum 3.0 GPA.
Its Spring-only admission and graduate tuition must not be merged with undergraduate or BEd after-degree facts.
Transfer and pre-professional pathways
Published block transfers include Bow Valley College pathways into General Studies and Medicine Hat College Biology into the StMU BSc.
Pre-law and transfer planning do not make law school or every receiving-institution program a StMU credential.
Three declaration checks
- Single-Entry is a six-year plan with BEd reassessment, not a guaranteed teaching credential from high school.
- Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility is a diploma; Business Transfer is preparation to continue elsewhere.
- Biology and pre-law can prepare students for later professional study, but StMU does not award medicine or law degrees.

Co-op, Research, and Career Outcomes
Work-integrated and experiential learning
Program-specific WIL, not one universal co-op sequence
Education practica, a current paid Biology internship, research, community field experience and liberal-arts internship courses have different eligibility, hours, academic credit and pay conditions.
No universal co-op sequence published
StMU publishes program- and course-specific WIL, internships, practica, community field experience and research rather than one institution-wide alternating co-op schedule.
BEd practica
Four semesters include practica totalling 26 full-time weeks, typically in three schools, with classroom-teacher and university-advisor mentorship.
2026–27 BIOL 480 paid internship
The current posting is 4–6 paid hours weekly for 13 weeks in each of Fall 2026 and Winter 2027, for credit and restricted to eligible continuing Biology students.
Biology capstone
Each BSc Biology student completes an independent research project under faculty guidance and presents through the winter poster conference.
Social Justice and Catholic Studies
The final-year experiential course builds a work-related community-partner relationship; the course description identifies at least 120 practical hours.
Entrepreneurship and Social Responsibility
The diploma includes WIL placements with industry experts, but the public page does not promise a paid placement or universal hour count.
Liberal-arts internships
StMU’s pre-law planning page identifies course-based English, History and Interdisciplinary Studies internship options alongside field experience and capstones.
Psychology Honours research
High-achieving four-year Psychology students can apply after third year for supervised independent thesis research and a public conference.
BEd practica
26 full-time weeks
Four semesters, typically across three schools.
BIOL 480

Career Planning
| Experiential Learning | Check whether your target program offers co-op, internships, clinical placements, practicums, studios, field schools, or research terms. |
|---|---|
| Career Services | Compare job boards, employer partnerships, resume support, interview preparation, and alumni mentoring. |
| Research Access | For graduate-school or professional-school pathways, look for undergraduate research assistant roles and lab access. |
| Outcome Questions | Ask where graduates work or study next, and whether outcomes differ by program, co-op stream, or campus. |
St. Mary’s University applicants must keep the Calgary institution distinct from Saint Mary’s University in Halifax, the University of Calgary and other similarly named colleges. StMU independently owns its admission, programs, tuition and awards. Fall 2027 BEd applications open October 1, 2026 and official documents are due July 31, 2027, while the general undergraduate deadline, BEd closing dates, 2027–28 tuition and Fall 2027 award cycle remain pending. StMU explicitly has no on-campus housing, so applicants must verify external rentals themselves. Experiential learning is program-specific—Education practica, Biology research and internship, Social Justice community field experience and liberal-arts internships—not one universal co-op or paid-placement guarantee.
