In order to qualify for entry into the Collaborative Program in Environmental Sustainability, students must be admitted to one of the participating Masters’ programs and must be conducting research on a topic of environmental sustainability.
For the purposes of the program, environmental sustainability is given a large definition that includes the study of the human enterprise of meeting the resource and service needs of current and future generations without compromising the health of the biological and ecological systems that provide them. It includes the study of the scientific, economic, social and regulatory elements of environmental management, as well as the investigation of factors that contribute to key environmental problems and their scientific foundations.
