Educating and Empowering Tomorrow’s Public Health Leaders, Advocates and Practitioners

In keeping with McMaster University’s purpose of advancing human and societal health and well-being, the Department of Health Research Methods, Evidence and Impact (HEI) has created the Graduate Diploma in Community and Public Health.

Designed with flexibility in mind, the Graduate Diploma in Community and Public Health is delivered exclusively online, providing professionals in – or aspiring to – social service and public health roles, as well as recent graduate students, with the knowledge, skills and expansive network they need to forge a rewarding career in community and public health.

Comprised of four courses, the Graduate Diploma in Community and Public Health can be completed in as little as 16 months. Learners will make the most of an innovative online curriculum, combining synchronous discussions and asynchronous components, taught by world-class faculty whose research programs inform public health policy and practice locally, nationally and internationally.

As one of Canada’s best schools for public health education, McMaster University’s aim is not simply to arm its learners with a graduate diploma, but to empower them to tackle the most pressing community and public health issues of our time with confidence, conviction and compassion.
