Please consult the Graduate Calendar for the Master of Environmental Studies (MES) in Sustainability Management (SUSM) degree requirements:
The MES in SUSM is a research-based masters degree that can be taken full-time or part-time.
Full-time students can expect to be enrolled for 6 terms (2 years). Part-time students must finish within 5 calendar years. Please see below for the suggested program schedule for full-time students. Part-time students have greater flexibility. Some students are ready to defend in the fifth term, but most take six terms to complete writing and defend their masters thesis.
To graduate, students are required to have a minimum GPA of 75% and successfully defend their research thesis.
If interested in applying, please reach out to potential research supervisors to discuss areas of faculty research interest, alignment with a professors research program and possible student funding.
