What is a course-based program?

Course-based programs are master’s programs that have the study option of coursework listed on their program page.

These programs are typically self-funded, which means that you are expected to cover the costs of tuition and incidental fees associated your program throughout the duration of your studies.  

Some course-based programs offer entrance awards of varying value for full-time students based on academic merit and achievement. Others offer paid co-op or internship opportunities. Check with your program for details.
