Program details
Overview
The Master of Science (M.Sc.), thesis-based, in Community and Population Health Sciences is offered through the University of Saskatchewan's Department of Community Health and Epidemiology. The program trains students in population-level health research, covering epidemiological methods, health determinants, and community health practice, culminating in an original research thesis. Coursework includes core classes in community and population health plus an approved research-methods course, for a minimum of 18 credit units alongside thesis research. Students undertake independent research under faculty supervision, complete an oral thesis defence, and are subject to a residency requirement until core program milestones - including committee approval of the thesis pre-proposal and required coursework - are met. Graduates are prepared for research, policy, and public-health practice roles investigating health patterns and interventions across populations.
