• Students are required to successfully complete any 6 courses from the BE course series for the GDip. BET 580, BET 600 and BET 700 level courses are also eligible to be counted towards the 6 course GDip requirement. However, BET 600 and BET 700 courses are restricted to students enrolled in the MBET program.
• Students who complete 3 BE courses as part of another graduate qualification may apply to receive a Graduate Certificate of Completion from the Conrad School. Alternatively, they may apply for admission to the GDip program, successfully complete an additional 3 courses, and be awarded the GDip. A student may receive the Certificate of Completion, or the GDip, but not both. Similarly, BET courses can be counted towards only one graduate certification, diploma or degree.
