MA/MS in Environmental Engineering

The Master of Engineering in Environmental Engineering at the University of Calgary's Schulich School of Engineering is a course-based degree requiring ten courses: four mandatory core courses covering digital engineering, sustainability, climate change adaptation, and engineering ethics and law, plus six electives. Elective topics include environmental chemistry, microbiology, air pollution control, contaminated soil remediation, oil-and-gas wastewater treatment, and life cycle assessment, and the broader curriculum addresses waste management, water and air quality, site assessment and reclamation, and natural resource management. The program is normally completed in one to two years of full-time study, with a six-year maximum and part-time options available, and no research supervisor is required; an optional 8-to-16-month paid internship can extend the program to three years. Admission requires a BSc in engineering or equivalent (other science degrees are considered case by case), a minimum 3.0 GPA on a 4.0 scale, and English proficiency documentation for applicants whose first language is not English. Application deadlines are April 1 for Fall intake and August 1 for Winter intake. It suits engineering graduates seeking an advanced, course-based credential to support career advancement in environmental engineering.
