The minimum requirement for applicants to the Master's Program in Pathology is a Bachelor of Science (Honours) degree with at least a B+ average. The average time to completion of the MSc program is 2 years. Applicants who have an excellent academic record and have demonstrated an interest in research through practical laboratory experience may wish to apply directly to the PhD Program. Applicants are encouraged to discuss this option with prospective supervisors. The completion time for a doctoral degree is approximately 4 to 7 years.

Pathology graduate students are funded through scholarships, awards and/or faculty research. To be eligible for scholarship/award competitions, an A (80%) average in the last two years of study is required. Applicants with this average are strongly advised to apply for funding from the Ontario Graduate Scholarships Program and/or NSERC if they meet other eligibility requirements identified. Eligibility for internal competitions is dependent upon your acceptance into the Program by a supervisor. Award-eligible students are encouraged to apply for graduate studies by February 1.
