Program Types
Master's Programs
Thesis-based and course-based master's degrees spanning all eight faculties. Graduate business programmes confer the Master of Science (M.Sc.) credential. The M.Sc.N+NP combines a Master of Science in Nursing with an embedded Nurse Practitioner Certificate — a combined credential unique to Zaag. Detailed programme listings and structures will be published ahead of the September 2027 launch.
Doctoral Programs
PhD programmes supported by Zaag's nine research centres and external funding through SSHRC, NSERC, CIHR, and ORF. Doctoral funding packages — including tuition support and stipends — will be confirmed with each programme guide. The founding research infrastructure is already in place.
Interdisciplinary Graduate Programs
Graduate programmes that sit across faculties — including the M.Sc.N+NP and programmes connected to the Indigenous Health & Community Research Institute, the Policy & Leadership Research Centre, and the AI & Applied Technology Institute. These programmes embed OCAP® principles, UNDRIP alignment, and TRC Calls to Action from the ground up.
