HRS Program Requirements

The HRS program has two types of requirements for Master's and PhD students:

Students are required to take three 0.5 mandatory course credits outlined in the course requirements page
Students are required to attend the HRS Common Seminar series (1 term for all) and a Field Based Seminar (1 year MSc and 2 years PhD). Seminars are also referred to as milestones, as seminars are not courses. Students will be automatically enrolled into these seminar milestones.
All PhD students must complete a Comprehensive Exam

HRS Progression Milestones were created to help students, supervisors and advisory committee members ensure that students are completing specific requirements through each term of their degree
Students in the Master's thesis route have a milestone progression timeline of 2 years or 6 terms and students in the PhD thesis route have a timeline of 4 years or 12 terms
These timelines will also be used when completing your Plan of Study (due by the end of 1st term for Master's and by the end of 2nd term for PhD students) and Advisory Committee Report (completed each year by May 31)
