The course-based Master of Toxicology (MTOX) program offers a multidisciplinary curriculum designed to prepare students for careers that deal with toxicological and analytical chemical data. Graduates of this program will have understanding of toxicology and chemistry related to risk assessment, environmental concerns, and modern industry. Core courses provide focus on toxicology with additional advanced analytical chemistry, and students apply this knowledge as part of the experiential learning requirement. Electives allow students to refine their focus in several possible directions, including emphasis on organic chemistry, medical toxicology, or nutrition. The MTOX curriculum is designed to impart mastery of applied skills, including the gathering, evaluation, and synthesis of data, effective communication of scientific data and concepts, and contextualization of scientific data in a relevant social, cultural, and global context.

The Master of Organizational Consulting (MOC) program equips students with skills and knowledge needed to pursue careers in consulting and serve a diverse range of clients, including businesses, non-profits, and community organizations. The curriculum provides a foundation in the consulting process, with a focus on understanding client organizations, conducting data analysis, and applying key consulting frameworks. In addition to core knowledge, the program develops practical skills such as professionalism, client relationship management, and effective project execution. Students engage with both theoretical concepts and hands-on applied experiences, including a capstone project with a university-based consulting group.

The Master of Development Practice and Global Justice (MDPGJ) is a course-based master’s program focusing on development practice through a global justice lens; it prepares students to start or continue their careers in development and related professions. Core courses provide training in: anti-racist and decolonial development policy and practice; the use of applied statistical methods in program evaluation; intersectional analysis in development (with a focus on youth and gender); and justice and inclusion. The program features a capstone course, in which students gain professional experience by participating in a community-engaged partnership with an external development organization. Additionally, through a series of career development workshops, students learn directly from practitioners and develop a professional portfolio that will prepare them for entry to the job market. The program offers a set of skills, experiences and insights for thinking critically and proactively about the challenge of engaging in and working on humanitarian and development challenges in Canada and internationally.

The Master of Medical Foundations (MMF) provides students with theoretical and practical understanding of human anatomy and physiology, problem-based thinking skills applicable to healthcare settings, and social awareness relevant to various healthcare professions. More specifically, students in the MMF program will: i) explore human anatomy and physiology, including mechanisms and management of disease, in state-of-the-art facilities and with the support of expert faculty from departments within the College of Biological Science; ii) engage in problem-based learning related to human health and healthcare; and iii) build awareness and acumen on the social dimensions of human health.

The Master of Applied Molecular and Health Sciences (MAMHS) is a course-based master’s program designed to prepare graduates for careers in medically oriented biotechnology, therapeutic development, biomanufacturing, and precision medicine. The program integrates molecular biology, stem cell research, genetics, immunology, bioinformatics, and AI-driven drug discovery, allowing students to develop theoretical knowledge and hands-on skills through experiential learning. Key molecular lab techniques are gained during two lab-intensive courses. The program concludes with a pair of capstone courses that focus on clinical and commercial applications of lab-based knowledge/skills and leadership, ethical practice and communications in the biomedical setting.

The Master of Supply Chain Management (MSCM) is a specialized course-based program designed by the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics to equip students with knowledge and strategic competencies in supply chain management. The MSCM’s core objectives are to develop strategic and analytical capabilities, with a focus on sustainable and resilient supply chain operations that align with modern business and global supply chain demands. Through a curriculum informed by The Competencies of Canadian Supply Chain Professionals©, the program’s learning outcomes span competencies like business acumen, leadership, and systems thinking. It further allows students to develop skills, such as data analytics, strategic planning, and systems design, and to improve functional proficiencies in areas including operations planning, procurement strategy, risk mitigation, and supply chain digitization. The program concludes with a capstone course where students collaborate in cross-functional teams on an integrative supply chain management simulation to make strategic decisions that apply knowledge and skills gained throughout the program.

The Master of Animal Biosciences (MABS) is a course-based master’s program that develops the focal core competency of graduates in leading-edge animal biosciences technologies and best management practices. During students’ first and second semesters, students acquire appropriate disciplinary training through courses in animal biosciences and in relevant statistical techniques. Harnessing the depth and breadth of the Department of Animal Biosciences, the program allows students to focus in one of five fields: Animal Behaviour and Welfare; Nutrition; Animal Breeding and Genetics; Physiology; and Digital Animal Analytics. The program is bracketed with experiences that promote students’ professional readiness: an initial course emphasizes professional development and scientific communication, and the final semester requires a culminating project that takes the form of either an internship or a major research paper.

The Master of Engineering Management (MEM) is a 16-month course-based master’s program that provides early-career engineers the opportunity to advance their competencies and skills and prepares graduates to ethically and responsibly manage highly diverse and multidisciplinary groups of individuals in organizations faced with the complex sociotechnical challenges associated with digitalization of industry, research, and design. Students take a selection of courses from the School of Engineering and the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics. The first two semesters provide common foundational engineering management knowledge from both engineering and management perspectives. The third and fourth semesters have been designed to allow students to customize their studies to support individual career goals. Students are required to complete a capstone course in their final semester, through which they examine contemporary issues in the profession of engineering through the lens of engineering management, engage with industry experts, and participate in a case study simulation of an engineering management challenge.

The Master of Cybersecurity Leadership and Cyberpreneurship (MCLC) is a primarily online professional master’s program that will train working professionals to become ethically minded leaders in cybersecurity and future chief information security officers in organizations ranging from start-ups to established multinational companies. By drawing on strengths of the University of Guelph’s School of Computer Science and the Gordon S. Lang School of Business and Economics the program will deliver a dual focus on cybersecurity fundamentals and organizational leadership, as well as its unique feature of cybersecurity entrepreneurship (i.e., “cyberpreneurship”). MCLC students will also benefit from rich experiential learning opportunities throughout the program’s curriculum as they work to develop solutions to a real-world security and privacy issues. This program integrates ethical considerations of cybersecurity in various domains to deliver graduates with unique skills and dispositions that will fill the pressing societal need for cybersecurity leaders.
