New Program Launching Fall 2027: The Master of Applied Science (MASc) in Accessibility in Biomedicine 

A fully online, 12-month graduate program designed for working professionals and future health leaders. Delivered asynchronously and offered in both English and French — including a dedicated Francophone cohort — this interdisciplinary program bridges medicine, biomedical research, disability studies, sociology, community engagement, and equity, diversity, and inclusion.

Students complete a hands-on, community-partnered or faculty-supervised capstone project in collaboration with hospitals, research institutes, or non-profit organizations. A stackable Microprogram in Accessibility in Biomedicine is also available for professionals seeking targeted upskilling.

For more information, please visit our program page: MASc in Accessibility in Biomedicine.

* Program is offered on a part time or full-time basis.
