Cohort 2013 onwards ( applicable for students who wants to do HT):
To read and pass GE3240. Completed 110 MCs including 60 MCs of GE requirements with a minimum SJAP of 4.00 and GPA of 3.50. Students may seek a waiver of the SJAP pre-requisites from the Department if they have a minimum GPA of 4.25 after completing 110 MCs.
