Thesis Supervision
Important Note:
Applicants to the MHIS program are not required to declare a supervisor, or contact them, in order to apply for the program. Students usually complete their first semester, and refine their interests, prior to connecting with potential supervisors. They can also decide between course-based or thesis-based program options at that time.
