Course Progression
The Graduate Certificate (OHS) and the Graduate Certificate (OHP) offers a pathway for those students who may not have an undergraduate degree but do possess considerable experience in OHS or OHP respectively. Progression from the Graduate Certificate to the Master of Science course is possible provided students maintain a credit (65%) average over the four subjects of the Graduate Certificate.
Students wishing to transfer to the Master of Science must have completed all four subjects of the Graduate Certificate and have received their final marks. A course transfer form must be competed and submitted to HBS Central for approval.
It is not possible for Graduate Certificate students to enrol in Master of Science subjects until their course transfer has been approved.
