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.

Career

Graduates of the program may go on to doctoral programs, or enter careers in government and industry. As professionals they may work in areas such as environmental policy, planning, impact assessment, natural resource management, scientific research and education.

Programme Structure

The thesis route provides students with the opportunity to pursue original research questions by conceiving, designing and executing a study in their area of interest. Course work provides exposure to interdisciplinary thinking and development of technical expertise in a specific area of interest.

Four, three-credit courses
Thesis (12 credits)
Two years to complete
