Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
Up to 2010, the University offered a Graduate Program in Sustainability called Master of Science in Sustainable Energy Development Program. This Masters was taught in conjunction with the University of Calgary and was focused as an interdisciplinary program for professional individuals seeking a broad-based education in energy and sustainable development. The objective of the Program is to provide students with a background in energy and environmental management such that they will be able to ensure sustainable energy development and minimize the impact on the environment.
The program was stopped because of new regulations for accreditation under CEAACES, and it is expected to re-start by the end of this year. This is an important Degree program that could in fact thrust the University’s Sustainability efforts.
