Please consult the Graduate Calendar for the Master of Environmental Studies (MES) in Sustainability Management (SUSM) degree requirements:
The MES in SUSM is offering a coursework-based masters degree option which will be offered on campus only. The requirement for coursework-based MES and thesis-based MES are the same, and are available full-time or part-time with approval.
Coursework-based students will have the opportunity to complete nine required courses; three of the nine courses can be from graduate-level electives. Full-time students can expect to be enrolled for 3 terms (1 year). Part-time students must finish within 5 calendar years. Please see the suggested program schedule for full-time students below. SUSM Coursework-based students do not require a supervisor or a milestone requirement (Research thesis).
To graduate, students are required to have a minimum GPA of 75% from the last two years of a four-year undergraduate equivalent. To find out more, visit the thesis-based master degree program to compare both options.
