The focus on career readiness, community insight, and the evolving needs of today’s economy is what has guided this rapid scaling of Algoma U’s suite of graduate programs.

- Master of Global Business and Economy
- Master of Science in Business Analytics
- Master of Science in Computer Science

The Master of Psychotherapy, led by experienced clinicians, was developed with the community to meet the growing demand for qualified mental health and counselling professionals.
“At its core, this program is about listening to and working with our community,” said Dr. Teryn Bruni, Program Planning Lead and Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychology. “Every step of its design has been guided by local voices to ensure it truly reflects the realities and needs of the people we serve.”
