From what I've been told there isn't a huge difference, but doing the thesis based MPH will (allegedly) make it easier for you to pursue a Ph.D in the future. Of course if you're looking for a job specifically in public health research it may be in your favour to do the thesis-based MPH, but I was more or less told that I wouldn't be at a disadvantage for employment if I did one over the other. That's just one perspective on it, though!

Thanks for the info and Goodluck for your future endeavours

What difference will it make in terms of employment(&pusuing phd) if u go course based or thesis based Mph?

i'm from ontario originally. Took a shot and applied to schools in BC and Alberta as well - was accepted to all 3 but I chose to stay closer to home and that way I can keep my job at 2 tertiary care hospitals in toronto. Thought I wanted to move to BC and take SFU's offer but made more sense to accept western's offer at this time!

Is western online

I finally received a rejection from SFU, so I have accepted my offer to USask. If anyone else has accepted their offer, I'd love to chat and get to know people ahead of time so feel free to send me a DM! Good luck to everyone still waiting to hear back from their programs!

I might be your classmate. Did u accepted usask online or onsite offer. What date did they gave you for accepting the offer? For me, they told me to respond before April 15. Don’t want on site hence still hopeful lakehead, Victoria or Waterloo might accept me.

Hey everyone.

I applied to the following MPH programs: University of Alberta, University of Saskatchewan, Lakehead and SFU. I've heard back from Saskatchewan so far (yay!)

I have a BSc in Global Health. My goal is to work in Health Promotion. I'd like to have temporary placements in different parts of the world (esp. Latin America), but my permanent goal is to work in Northern Canada (I'm from ON, but I currently live in NWT).

Could you share some thoughts on these different programs?

• UofA: specialization on Health Promotion.
• Saskatchewan: seems great, doesn't focus specifically on Health Promotion but I like the variety of courses (everything from Environmental PH to PH policy...).
• Lakehead: specialization on Indigenous and Northern Health.
• SFU: to be honest I don't know much about it. I applied because friends from BC highly recommended it ("It's the Harvard of the West Coast!")

Also, could someone clarify this from Saskatchewan: "The School of Public Health has reviewed your application and has recommended you for admission to the College of Graduate and Postdoctoral Studies (CGPS), which is the formal granting body for admissions. Once you accept your seat to the program, we send your information to CGPS for final review. From there, if they believe the student is a suitable candidate, they will send an official letter of acceptance via email and the student will be required to officially accept their seat via an online portal (PAWS). Admission may be revoked if students do not meet the criteria that CGPS has laid out in the official letter of acceptance. The deadline to accept your seat is March 1, 2019. "

How does that work? If I choose Saskatchewan, I'm scared to accept their offer, reject others, and then have their offer revoked and be left with no programs. 

Did u received offer from lakehead? I choose the same institutions

[2019 MPH CANADA]

Yes I got accepted to Saskatchewan but to on-site stream even though indicated, wanted online. Will reject soon if I can secure my spot at Victoria or Waterloo or lakehead.

did anyone heard from university of Victoria? In this thread I haven’t read anyone receiving offers from Victoria. I am assuming they have not started making offers! Am I correct?
