The Accelerated Master’s Program in Environment, Resources and Sustainability in the School of Environment, Resources and Sustainability (SERS) is intended to shorten the time to obtain a Master’s degree when compared to the usual route for graduate studies. The accelerated admission streamlines the process by allowing a student in a University of Waterloo Bachelor of Environmental Studies (BES) program to complete two graduate courses during their 4A/4B terms that will count towards the Master's of Environmental Studies (MES), thesis or Master’s Research Paper (MRP), including the Water option for both degree types. This is particularly useful for those students who have taken extra courses during their first three years of study, either during their school or work terms, or who have already begun a senior undergraduate research project that can be continued at the master’s level.
