Students are required to successfully complete a compulsory full year project course and six graduate half courses (or equivalent), of which at least four must be 700 level and up to two 600 level courses approved by the program lead. Two of these 600 level courses can be taken in the final undergraduate year at McMaster for graduate credit with the approval of the Associate Dean of Graduate Studies.
Students who opt to complete the program on a course basis must complete eight courses in consultation with the program lead.
