Master of Environment and Sustainability (MES)

The Master of Environment and Sustainability (MES) is an interdisciplinary, thesis-based program that can be completed in two years of full-time study. Students are required to complete a thesis based on original research and a minimum of 12 credits of course work: 

• Three core courses (nine credit units)
• One elective class (three credit units) from anywhere on campus, with approval from the student's advisory committee

Students are required to register, attend, and participate in ENVS 990:  Seminar in Environment and Sustainability.  Students meet the requirements for ENVS 990 by participating in the seminars and by presenting results of their own research.

Students who began their programs in September 2010 or January 2011 should check with Irene Schwalm, SENS Graduate Secretary, regarding program requirements.
