Many students consider a master’s degree as a next step after your undergraduate degree. This may or may not be right for you – book an appointment to meet with a career consultant to see if a master’s degree makes sense for you.
There are master’s degrees in every area of study including interdisciplinary studies. Master’s degree can be research based (typically one-two years of coursework and can include a major research paper or thesis) or professional based (typically one year of coursework and may include a practicum or internship).
College programs are an excellent opportunity to build on the knowledge and skills gained through your university education. In Ontario, post-graduate programs are called graduate certificates. These certificate programs require a university degree or college diploma. Graduate certificates are offered in a variety of disciplines from public relations to addictions counselling to marketing to exercise science to human resources. You may also consider a college diploma program if you are looking to change direction with your education or are interested in an area of study that is unavailable as a graduate certificate.
To search for and apply to college programs in Ontario, go to ontariocolleges.ca. Applications are due each year at the beginning of February.
