The Graduate Academic Certificate in Science Communication develops skills for communicating scientific ideas to diverse audiences, combining interdisciplinary theory with hands-on, experiential learning. It can be completed alongside another graduate program or as a standalone credential and typically takes four to eight months, with completion possible in as little as one academic term. Delivery is hybrid: most courses are offered online, either synchronously or asynchronously with faculty supervision, alongside one in-person course option. Entry normally requires an undergraduate degree with a B+ average or equivalent professional experience in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics field, though applicants with degrees in other areas or lower averages are also considered. Applications require a statement of interest, a curriculum vitae, and an undergraduate transcript where applicable. The typical intake is September, and the program is administered by the School of Interdisciplinary Science at McMaster University.
