Master of Environment (Environmental Assessment)
The Department of Geography, Planning and Environment, Concordia University, offers a year and a half Master program in Environmental Assessment (EA) which integrates both the human and biogeophysical aspects of EA in a transdisciplinary context and combines academic excellence with an effective policy-focused approach to the use of scientific knowledge and methods.
The Program is designed to develop a sound and critical understanding of
the processes and methodologies of EA, to expose students to the range of
public policy and social science considerations involved in environmental
planning, sustainable development and resource decision-making, to enhance
students’ existing knowledge of the biogeophysical environment and
provide students with a thorough understanding of GIS applied to environmental
decision-making. It is directed towards individuals who hold an undergraduate
degree in any relevant discipline in the social or physical sciences and
are interested in developing or enhancing their knowledge and skills in
the environmental field. Students will also be able to relate EA theory
and practice during their internship, designed to provide opportunities
for them to deepen their knowledge and extend their skills through direct
application as EA practitioners in governmental, non-governmental
organizations (NGOs), or private sector organizations.
The application deadline for the program is February 1st (September Admission). For more information contact Ms. Mae Anne Burridge, Graduate Program Assistant.
