Master of Sustainable Environmental Management (MSEM)

The Master of Sustainable Environmental Management (MSEM) program is an interdisciplinary, course-based, professional-style program that can be completed within one year of full-time study. However, students can study on a part-time basis and the length of the program will vary accordingly.  

Students are required to complete a six credit unit research project and a minimum of 24 credits of course work:

• Four core courses (twelve credit units)
• Two elective classes from a restricted list (six credit units)
• Two elective classes (six credit units) from either the restricted list or from anywhere else on campus, with approval from the Graduate Chair

Students are also required to register, attend, and participate in ENVS 990:  Seminar in Environment and Sustainability.

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

The MSEM program is designed for undergraduates seeking a professional occupation or for those with established careers who wish to expand their skill set.
