The Health Sciences master's program equips students with essential knowledge and competencies to perform rigorous research leading to a thesis
The Master of Health Sciences (MHSc) curriculum emphasizes cultivating students' abilities to undertake advanced research initiatives that result in either a thesis or significant capstone project.
This research-intensive degree blends coursework, seminars, and independent study to meet program goals. Foundational courses include Health Research Approaches plus either Community Health Studies (for Community/Public/Population Health), Patient Journey Modeling (for Health Informatics), or Kinesiology Studies (for Kinesiology). These establish the basis for specialized coursework and guided research conducted with faculty supervision. With this robust research training, MHSc graduates gain excellent preparation for leadership positions in healthcare, securing workplace research funding, or continuing toward PhD studies in health sciences or related research-focused disciplines.
