You've decided to attend graduate school or to pursue a professional program, now what?

Deciding to go to graduate school or to enter a professional program is a major life decision. Now that you have decided that this is the right path for you, it's time to look at the next steps.

Your first step is to determine what type of post-graduate credential suits you best:

• Research Masters or PhD streams
• These programs require more independent and focused work in a specialized field of study. You will need to carry out your own research project under the guidance of a faculty supervisor and research committee.

• Applied Masters
• These types of programs are generally course-based with a thesis or capstone project and involve the practical application of the subject discipline. Applied Masters are more career-focused, preparing you for a specific professional career or specialty. Examples of these types of applied programs are Master of Education (MEd) and Master of Business Administration (MBA).

• Professional programs
• Professional programs provide specialized education leading to a profession that is governed by a regulatory body, such as medicine, optometry, dentistry, and law. These may also require a thesis or practicum component.
