Overview
Key facts
The Capacity Development and Extension program of University of Guelph has students that are applied researchers who tackle real-world challenges, demonstrate self-initiative and are motivated by their enthusiasm for interdisciplinary graduate-level studies.
We offer a MSc program that is completed between four to six semesters. The MSc degree is based on either course work plus a major research paper option or the option of reduced course work with the design and defense of a research-based thesis.
Engaged Learning
As interns, graduate research assistants or leaders of their own class-based learning projects, CDE students are engaged in professional work contexts. Faculty work with interested graduate students to connect them with community service and research initiatives. Projects and internships vary from semester-long postings with international agencies to short-term collaboration with local organizations.
