graduate students fine tune and shape their programs to get the
experience they want. Our faculty are outstanding, our students are
creative, and our setting really is unlike anything else you've
come across. And we offer all of this to you with some of the
lowest tuition fees in Canada. Because it must be said - all those
clichs? They're for real. Literally.

school. At Memorial, we have programs that encourage you to explore
