Research
MPA students have many ways to get involved in research.
Second year research scholarships
Each year the program offers research scholarships to almost 10% of its second year students, based on performance in the first year in the program. Students on research scholarships are matched with a professor in the program. Tasks are defined by the professor.
Grant-funded research assistantships聽
In most years, professors hold research funds from SSHRC, CIHR or other funding institutions. Professors often hire MPA students to assist with research projects. Tasks are defined by the professor.
Consulting research assistantships
On occasion, professors engage in consulting activities with the public sector or another client. When needed, professors hire students to assist with consulting research projects. Tasks are defined by the professor.
Applied courses
A number of courses in the MPA program incorporate an applied research component. These courses include Research Methods and Policy Analysis, Program Evaluation, Practicum, Projects, Issues in Applied Economics, Management Without Borders, and others. Applied research components typically require that students work with external stakeholders in some capacity.
