Overview

Key Features

The Sustainability program at Brock University offers students three paths to study environmental sustainability. Students can tailor their program to specific career and research interests through enriching classroom learning with practical experience (Scheme A) or intensive research experience (Scheme B). More recently, a third path has been added to this program to offer students (including those with practical/professional experience) enriching classroom learning with in-depth research experience (Scheme C).

Program highlights:

Students can complete a Master of Sustainability in 12-24 months.
The transdisciplinary SSAS graduate program emphasizes overcoming barriers among traditional disciplines and sectors.
Faculty members involved in the SSAS graduate program are leading scholars in many fields. Their expertise spans the natural and social sciences and share a commitment to integrative inquiry. Exciting opportunities exist to join cutting-edge programs of research.
Students can engage in intensive and enriching research that they are passionate about. Faculty members mentor students in undertaking their research. Student research may take place here in Niagara or anywhere in the world.

Students can apply classroom learning and gain work experience through co-op as part of their academic program to enhance their employment potential. Brock University’s Co-op Programs Office offers exciting & rewarding opportunities with some of Canada’s top employers.
