Program information
The Graduate Diploma in Work Disability Prevention (WDP) is offered in collaboration with Canadian Memorial Chiropractic College. The program is primarily designed for highly qualified individuals in established regulated health professions (e.g., chiropractors, kinesiologists, nurses, occupational therapists, physiotherapists, social workers) currently working in or wishing to work in the WDP field. Health professionals are ideally situated to assist workers and organizations to prevent and resolve work disability issues.
Admission requirements
In addition to the general admission requirements for graduate studies at UOIT , applicants to the Graduate Diploma in WDP must meet the following program-specific requirements:
-
Hold a four-year honours degree or equivalent from a recognized institution in the area of graduate study or a closely related subject.
-
Overall academic standing of at least a B average (GPA: 3.0 on a 4.3 scale) with a minimum B average in the last two full-time years (four semesters) of undergraduate work or equivalent.
-
If applicable, a minimum score of 580 on the paper-based TOEFL, 92-93 on the Internet-based TOEFL or 7 on the IELTS. Note that these English language proficiency scores are slightly higher than those required for some other graduate programs at UOIT. Visit the English language proficiency section of this calendar for additional details.
Applicants planning to pursue study in the area of WDP should have training or experience in a related health field. Students without this training may receive conditional admission and be required to take one or more related course(s). Therefore, a health professional degree such as chiropractic, medicine, occupational therapy, physical therapy, nursing, psychology, master’s degree in Social Work, or professional registration as a Kinesiologist or equivalent is required.
Part-time studies
This program is only offered on a part-time basis. The part-time nature of the program combined with the focus of online education will aid students in their ability to continue full-time employment or other professional/personal activities while enrolled in their courses.
