This graduate program takes an interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues, bringing together the social sciences, humanities, arts and natural sciences. The Master in Environmental Studies (MES) is a self-directed program centred on an individual Plan of Study, allowing students to design a program of coursework matched to their research interests.
