This program is oriented towards students with a quantitative or science background. Applicants should have an undergraduate degree in a quantitative or science field (e.g., economics, biology, physics, biology), with a minimum 3.2 GPA. Some exposure to statistics in the undergraduate degree is helpful but not essential; there are no formal course prerequisites.

This is a fully online program, with some flexibility as to how and when students conduct their studies. Students are expected to complete the courses over the course of one academic year, with each of the first four courses taking approximately six weeks.

No exemptions or substitutions are permitted for this program. The program has been carefully designed to provide a comprehensive and cohesive learning experience, ensuring that students gain the full range of competencies needed in the field of health data analytics. To maintain this standard, students must complete all five courses to receive the certificate of completion.

We do not review admissions documents in advance of application. Administrative staff can answer general question regarding admissibility however; the file review is a complex and thorough process conducted by an admissions committee. If you wish to be considered for admission, you must apply.

A low GPA does reduce your chances of admission. However, our admissions committee looks at all aspects of the student's file, including not only past grades, but also letters of reference, the full CV, the personal statement and any past related work experiences, publications and research experience.

All your supporting documents must be received by the application deadline. You should contact graduate.eboh [at] mcgill.ca in the case of extenuating circumstances.

We understand that the requirement for an institutional email may be problematic for some of our international applicants. In the case of international referees, who work or teach in institutions which do not have institutional email addresses, their public domain address may be used. We ask that they upload a PDF copy of their letter of reference on institutional letterhead. If the applicant is offered admission, we may take steps to authenticate the reference.

Academic references are strongly preferred. In a situation where an applicant is returning to academia after working for a few years, we understand that it would indeed be a challenge to get a reference from a professor. We, therefore, will accept a reference from a non-academic. Please explain in your personal statement why the reference is from a non-academic.
