We have presented a few of the more frequently asked questions below to help you. Please take this time to review the information provided to assist you.
PROGRAM
Do you have an online program?
No, we do not offer on-line courses.
Do I need to speak French to complete this program?
No. All courses are offered in English. While knowledge of French is very useful with regard to securing a practicum in a Montreal or Quebec public health setting, our students can complete their practicum requirement in placements across the country and abroad.
Can I be a part-time student in your program? How long does the program take to complete?
We presently offer a B.A. which requires 3 years of full-time, residential study. We do not offer a part-time option.
How long are your experiential learning opportunities? Where do they take place?
Our students can do their practicum/internship in a variety of population and public health practice or research settings. Our students will have two opportunities to engage with experiential learning in the community. GPHL 303 is the introductory course for community engaged learning. Students will work in small groups (2-3 members) and commit three hours per week for eight weeks in duration (24 hours total) at their placements. GPHL 401 is the final course where students engage in experiential learning. Students will work in small groups (2-3 members) and commit 35 hours per week for 13 weeks (455 hours total) at their placements. Placements can be local (e.g., Direction de la Sant茅 Publique), national (e.g., Canadian Public Health Agency) or international (e.g., WHO, UNAIDS)
How many credits/and/or courses am I expected to carry each semester as a full-time student?
Students typically carry between 10 to 15 credits in any given semester. A full-time course load is 12 credits or more. Refer to the 
Three Year Overview for the expected timeline in our program.
POST-GRADUATION
Will I find a job after I graduate? Where can I work with my Bachelor of Arts in Population and Global Health?
Students graduating from this program can expect to find employment within the governmental public health system at the local, national or international level as well as the non-governmental sector. Students may work as research assistants, coordinators, program planners, health promotion specialists, analysts, consultants or find employment in managerial level positions. Refer to 
What Can I Do With My BA Pamphlet for examples of employment organizations.
FUNDING
Do you offer funding to students?
The financial resources of the Department do not permit guaranteed minimum funding for B.A. in PGH students. Students in placements in GPHL 303 and GPHL 401 may be provided some funding by the host organizations and/or the Department of Global and Public Health.
