  • A cumulative Grade Point Average (CGPA) of 3.0/4.0, or minimum 3.2/4.0 over the last two years of study: GPA calculations are done by the university. Please do not submit external transcript evaluations.
  • Proof of English language proficiency (TOEFL or IELTS); only in certain cases
OPTIONAL: For international health professionals, and other applicants without significant quantitative training on their transcript, GRE results with a strong result (80th percentile) in the Quantitative score, may strengthen your application.
NOTE: Meeting the general requirements does not guarantee admission. As the MScPH is a non-thesis program, applicants do not need to identify a supervisor before applying. While the language of instruction is English, some practicum placement sites in Quebec require a working knowledge of French. The language for placement sites outside of Quebec is generally English.
