4. Personal statement describing academic and work background; reason for selecting graduate study in this degree program, and particular interests/skills (including technological skills; eg computer programs with which you are familiar - GIS, web page, etc.) you would bring to the program.

Admission to the program on a provision basis may be approved for applicants with a GPA of at least 2.6 in the last two years of coursework and who demonstrate special circumstances and potential.
