The School of Public Health provides a thriving academic environment that embraces diversity. We encourage individuals from all minority groups to apply and self-identify.
The MPH Program at the University of Saskatchewan is a highly competitive program with up to 500 applicants for approximately 40 spots (30 on-campus and 10 distance). While a minimum cumulative weighted average of 70% for the last two years of study is the minimum admission average required by the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies, the MPH program is highly competitive, and meeting minimum admission criteria does not guarantee admission to the program. In recent admission cycles, successful applicants have had a minimum converted GPA of at least 80% over the last two years of study.
Only application packages that are complete will be considered for review. We encourage students to complete their application packages as soon as possible. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure that his/her application is complete, keeping in mind that a complete application package includes all reference letters. It is the applicant’s responsibility to follow up with referees to ensure that the letters are completed and uploaded prior to any deadline.
The MPH program requires a high degree of numeracy, and it is recommended that applicants have successfully completed math or stats courses at the 300 or 400 undergraduate level. During the Foundations course (PUBH 804) in the first two weeks you will be required to pass a statistics review.
Due to the high volume of applicants, we are unable to respond to individual inquiries. We ask that you read the information on our Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs).
The Master of Public Health (MPH) program trains public health professionals to measure, assess and manage increasingly complex population and public health issues. It offers graduate students integrated learning opportunities in the five core disciplines of public health:
Biostatistics – Collection, storage, retrieval, analysis and interpretation of health data; design and analysis of health-related surveys and experiments; and concepts and practice of statistical data analysis.
Epidemiology – Distributions and determinants of disease, disabilities and death in human and animal populations; the characteristics and dynamics of populations; the natural history of disease; and the biological basis of health.
Environmental Health Sciences – Environmental factors, including biological, physical and chemical factors that affect the health of a community.
Health Services Administration – Development, organization, administration, management, evaluation and policy analysis of health programs.
Social and Behavioural Sciences – Concepts and methods of social and behavioural sciences relevant to the identification and the solution of public health problems.
The MPH is a professional course-based degree with a practicum. It is an interdisciplinary program intended to prepare individuals for professional practice and leadership in public health. The program is designed for completion in two academic years of full-time study. Students may also choose to study part-time over a maximum of five years.
