Overview
The Environmental Sciences program at Nipissing University takes an interdisciplinary approach to explore and address environmental issues by considering and integrating ideas and methodologies from the humanities, social sciences, indigenous studies and natural sciences.
Flexible graduate programming means students can earn a Master of Environmental Science or Master of Environmental Studies degree. Students can choose from 1-year (major paper) or 2-year (research thesis) options.
The programs consist of course work plus a Major Research Paper (one-year program) or coursework plus a Thesis (two-year program), and are offered on a full-time or flex-time basis.
