Name of the sustainability-focused graduate-level degree program:
Masters of Art or Science and PhD in Environmental Studies
A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:
The School of Environmental Studies has three interdisciplinary focus areas in ecological restoration, ethnoecology, and political ecology. Students have a full range of learning opportunities spanning natural and social sciences, humanities and traditional ecological knowledge. Programs are research based and therefore all students are supervised by a faculty member along with an advisory committee. Admission is tied directly to a faculty member who agrees to work with the student and act as the major adviser.
Environmental Studies graduate students have access to a wide variety of research facilities across campus. In addition to the institution's modern Ethnoecology, Restoration and Conservation Ecology, and Visualization labs, UVic’s location on southern Vancouver Island provides easy access to marine and alpine ecosystems, freshwater wetlands, rivers, lakes and the temperate rainforest. There is also opportunity for collaboration with many First Nations, government agencies, environmental and other non-governmental organizations and corporations.
