Master of Public Health - Gerontology - (Course)

In the Master of Public Health degree, students will focus on current issues in the science and/or service of public health, so that they may gain experience through opportunities in any of the fundamental disciplines that underlie public health. The program is primarily intended to prepare graduates for a career in public health practice. The program's objectives are to prepare a graduate who: • Possesses advanced health-related education • Is capable of critical analysis • Understands health-related decision-making at the level of the individual, population, and government • Understands research • Possesses knowledge exchange and dissemination strategies for individuals, populations, and government

The Gerontology Program collaborates with five departments including Psychology, to provide students with an innovative, interdisciplinary learning perspective. Students have the opportunity to access multifaceted resources and work together with complementary disciplines.
