CAGS Publications

CAGS provides a variety of publications which address concerns of the graduate education community. A Statistical Report on registration in graduate studies at Canadian universities is also published yearly. However, due to privacy concerns raised by Statistics Canada, CAGS has decided to restrict access to the yearly Statistical Report to our members only.
