IT’S UNIFYING

Our program brings together Grenfell’s strengths in environmental studies, environmental science and sustainable resource management. By integrating these diverse fields of study, we’re training policy leaders to make a difference provincially, nationally and internationally.

IT’S RIGOROUS

Designing an environmentally healthy future requires sound thinking in fields as diverse as public policy, political science, geography, economics, biology and forestry. Our expert faculty, excellent library resources and hands-on orientation will deepen your understanding of environmental issues and broaden your set of tools.

WHAT YOU’LL GET

You’ll get to choose between a thesis-based program, which takes two years, and a research paper-based program, which takes one. Both options will place you in an internship that exposes you to the challenges of real-world practitioners in a government office, non-governmental organization, community organization or business.

WHAT YOU’LL NEED

Admission is limited and competitive. To be considered for admission, applicants should have an undergraduate degree. In special cases applicants without an undergraduate degree may be considered for admission based on professional experience. Applicants will be assessed for admission to the MA in environmental policy based on their interests, their potential to produce meaningful research and the availability of supervisors in the area of the applicant’s interest. Deadline: Feb. 15 for fall semester, Aug. 15 for winter semester.
