Students will receive a variety of emails as they begin their graduate career with this program. The program has created a checklist to assist you as you navigate the start of your first academic year.

MHM students have some course choices in Year 2 and Year 3. Please review the course pages for available options. Students will also be able to view the available options within the Avenue to Learn MHM Virtual Office platform.

McMaster University has mechanisms in place to support students to take a leave from their studies should they require it for health or financial reasons. Please reach out to the Program office for assistance with your situation.

Completing your master’s degree requirements is the responsibility of the student, in consultation with their program, to ensure that all requirements have been satisfied.

Once you have completed all your courses (8) and all other curriculum requirements, students should notify the program office and they will inform the School of Graduate Studies that you are ready to proceed to graduation.

Some graduates receive a promotion during or within 1 year of completing the MHM degree and some seek additional education after their MHM degree and some of our graduates have successfully gained admission to PhD programs.

Students are encouraged to:

• use the many career resources and services available to you at McMaster.
• complete the Scholarly Paper course, if you are a considering PhD program, and present your work or projects at conferences, and seek to get your work or projects published and investigate PhD graduate programs of interest to you.
