MA/MS in Environmental Studies

The Master's in Environmental Studies (M.E.E.) is a thesis-based graduate program at the Moncton campus, completed full-time in two years or part-time over up to five years. The 45-credit program includes 39 mandatory credits — a 27-credit thesis plus four mandatory seminars and courses — and 6 elective credits chosen from two approved course lists. Admission requires candidates to meet the university's general conditions for admission to graduate studies; applications are also reviewed by the program's graduate studies committee, which considers academic and disciplinary diversity among admitted cohorts to support the program's interdisciplinary approach to environmental research. The program is administered through the Faculty of Graduate Studies and Research rather than a single academic department, reflecting its cross-disciplinary orientation. It suits students from varied undergraduate backgrounds — sciences, social sciences, or related fields — who want to pursue supervised thesis research on environmental questions in a program that draws on faculty and methods from multiple disciplines.
