Application Process: Master of Environmental Science/Studies

Before applying to the Master of Environmental Science/Studies graduate program, it is important to familiarize yourself with the requirements of this specific program.

While there are several core courses to the Master of Environmental Science or Studies program, students will choose to stream into either Environmental Science or Environmental Studies, depending on their background and interests.

Applicants must hold a four-year undergraduate degree in any discipline from an accredited University and at least a 75% average on the last ten full (20 semester) courses completed at the time of application, or equivalent qualifications to be considered for admission. Applicants are also required to submit a Statement of Academic Intent describing their research areas of interest, identification of potential faculty supervisors and an explanation on how their selection of the MES/MESc program relates to previous academic studies and experience.
