Environment and Sustainability (EnvrSust)
The Collaborative Specialization in Environment and Sustainability (EnvrSust) at Western is an interdisciplinary enrichment program designed for current graduate students (MSc/MA/MESc or PhD) who wish to become specialists in specific aspects of environment and sustainability, and who also wish to gain an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems and solutions. The student earns a degree in the home department plus credit for participation in the collaborative specialization.
The Specialization in Environment and Sustainability is not a direct entry program.
Graduate students in research programs may apply following admission to and registration in a home department, where the student will have a research supervisor, complete a research thesis and earn a graduate degree in a specific discipline.
Normal requirements for the Gender, Sexuality, and Women’s Studies Graduate Program will be fulfilled. The course requirements for the collaborative specialization are as follows:
MA Program
- EnvrSust 9430: Interdisciplinary Research Seminar Masters (1.0)
- Environment and Sustainability Elective (0.5)
PhD Program
Identification and selection of the Advisor must occur within the first term of study in the program and the first meeting within the student's first year in the program. Eligibility for annual program awards is dependent upon the selection of an Advisor and documentation of advisory meetings within awarding timeframes.
