Roadmap

This at a glance guide will help you navigate what to expect in the EMHI program.

A standard cohort will take these courses synchronously over the course of 24 months. Each student is provided the option to either choose an elective or complete a project extension (given program and supervisor permission). 

EMHI courses are delivered in modules, extended weekends, and consist of classes on: Thursday evenings, Fridays and Saturdays. Expect to book Fridays off work during the modules.

There are usually 5-7 modules per term.  Schedules may vary slightly from year to year, see timetable for more precise scheduling information.
