Admission Requirements

• Applicants must meet the admission requirements of both the home graduate program in which they are registered as well as the collaborative specialization.

• Applicants must be admitted to a master's program in one of the collaborating home graduate units before they may apply to the Collaborative Specialization in Global Health (U of T Global Scholar).

Specialization Requirements

• Meet all the degree requirements of the School of Graduate Studies, the home graduate unit, and the Collaborative Specialization in Global Health (U of T Global Scholar).

• Students must successfully complete the global health core course, CHL5700H Global Health (0.5 full-course equivalent [FCE]).

• Depending on the requirements of their core master's programs, collaborative specialization students must complete either a practicum placement, a major research paper, or a master's thesis related to global health.

• Master's students will be encouraged to participate in a series of shared co-curricular global health activities organized by the Dalla Lana School of Public Health and other participating graduate units.

• Students in coursework-only programs in Engineering (MEng) and Public Health (MScCH) must complete an additional 1.0 FCE in approved global health electives. Students in the coursework-only Law program (LLM) must complete an additional 1.5 FCE in approved global health electives.

• Students in the Master of Nursing (MN) field of Health Systems Leadership and Administration and the field of Nurse Practitioner will exceed the MN program course requirements by 0.5 FCE because students are required to complete CHL5700H outside their home program requirements.
