Description
The Collaborative Specialization in Environment and Sustainability is an interdisciplinary enrichment program designed for current graduate students (MSc/MA/MESc or PhD) who wish to become specialists in specific aspects of environment and sustainability, and who also wish to gain an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems and solutions. The student earns a degree in the home department plus credit for participation in the collaborative specialization.
Learning Outcomes
The collaborative specialization was designed with three goals in mind:
- to build upon and complement the discipline-based programs relevant to environment and sustainability;
- to promote an appreciation on the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems; and
- to develop a community of students and faculty across Western who are interested in environment and sustainability.
