QIPS is a full-time only degree but delivered to accommodate full-time employment.
The QIPS program is intentionally designed to accommodate professional graduate students and includes a course-based option and a thesis-based option for those who may require a thesis for their academic career.
The 12 month program begins with a compulsory one-week intensive in September for both options. The subsequent core and elective courses are concentrated in modules spread regularly throughout the fall, and winter sessions. Each module of the required courses consists of a full day Thursday and Friday, and a half-day on Saturday four times during the September–December session and four times during the January–April session. Electives may also take place in the summer term during which students complete their projects and final assignments.
Courses are delivered in-person at the St George campus.
