Doctorate Programs in Canada

Doctorate programs in Canada attract students interested in high-paying careers. The 2003 Survey of Earned Doctorates by Statistics Canada found 60 percent of the country's 3,600 Ph.D. recipients earned more than $55,000 per year. This report states that 25 percent of Ph.D. candidates in 2003-2004 were foreign students, contributing to diverse interactions between students and faculty. Canadian universities from coast to coast respond to this diversity with a variety of doctorate programs.
