Distance Education
All core courses, as well as all elective courses, are offered by distance modalities to students registered in the English portion of our Master’s program. For French speaking students, the courses are also offered by distance, including francophones from minority communities on the Canadian West and East coasts and in the Territories, thanks to the “Consortium national de formation en santé (CNFS)”. For more information on distance courses, please contact the Academic Administrative Officer, Graduate Studies Office at sante.health@uottawa.ca. The Ph.D. is offered only on the University of Ottawa campus.
Course delivery
Distance courses
Courses where the professor and the students are in class and the students from different regions are present and connected either by audio or video during scheduled class hours. The students must also have access to a computer to view the documents.
Online courses
Courses where the professor is not physically present in the classroom; the course content is usually available on Virtual Campus (Blackboard, Elluminate).
However, the professor may require the virtual presence during discussion periods or the physical presence during exams. Consult the professor’s internet site for specific directives.
