Graduate Programs

We are a small, and growing school welcoming all students interested in studying with world-renowned researchers and faculty members in sciences, social sciences and humanities and in being actively engaged in cutting-edge research and scholarship.

Our intimate, small-school environment creates optimal opportunities for regular and one-on-one interactions with faculty members and other students in your chosen program, as well as internal and external community collaborations.

Please be advised that there is no policy or procedure for transferring into any graduate program. You are required to submit an application in order to be considered for enrolment into a graduate program. Please find more information on program-specific application processes and admission requirements below through the links for each individual Masters program. Thank you for your understanding.
