The University of Toronto Centre for Environment is pleased to announce a new one-year professional degree program: the Master of Environmental Science (M.Env.Sc.). The first offering of the program will be in January 2006. The subsequent admission cycle will be in September 2006.
The Program will be located at, and administered by, the Department of Physical and Environmental Sciences at U of T at Scarborough (UTSC). This stand-alone Master’s program focuses on the transport and fate of contaminants in natural and degraded environments. The professional degree program includes new graduate courses and aims to produce skilled practitioners of environmental science. They will be well-trained in field and laboratory techniques, primarily to meet the needs of industry and government.
The program will consist of two options: an all-course option, and an intern option. Both options require the completion of a total of five full-course equivalents. Full-time students will complete all instructional requirements in two terms (fall and winter) and then complete field and research-based courses during the early summer. The four-month internship may be completed concurrently or sequentially as a work placement internship. Plans are also being made to offer the program on a part-time basis.
UTSC is a leader in environmental science research. For a list of current faculty and research projects, please visit: http://envsci.utsc.utoronto.ca.
