Program Registration
- Fall term is September to December (for MPH, mid-August to December; Winter term is January to April; Spring and Summer terms are May to August with variable start and end dates).
- Full-time MPH students must register for 12 units of required courses in the first fall and nine units of required courses in the first winter of their program. After this, a FT registration is a minimum nine units in both fall and winter and six units in both spring and summer.
- Part-Time MPH students must register for nine units of required courses in the first fall and six units of required courses in the first winter of their program. After this, a PT registration is a maximum of six units in both fall and winter and three units in both spring and summer.
- SPH 530 This is Public Health is completed before other courses start. In 2023, it tentatively runs from August 14 to 25 - still considered a fall-term course. SPH 541 is split over two terms - A(fall) / B(winter) and units are evenly split between A and B parts, which must be taken consecutively — they cannot be split across years. A student receives a grade for the course after completion of both A and B parts of a course.
- Only SPH 535 and SPH 537 can be shifted to the second year of the program and the course sequence and time to completion will change accordingly.
- The MPH degree includes required and elective courses:
- Elective courses can be selected to suit a student’s interests based on discussion with their academic advisor and can be sequenced any time during the degree, paying attention to pre-requisites where applicable. Elective courses can be taken from SPH, 海角社区 or other universities. If interested in courses offered by other universities in the western provinces, refer to Western Deans' Agreement.
- Elective courses may be combined for students to attain an additional credential — a Graduate Embedded Certificate.
