The Centre for Environmental Engineering Research and Education (CEERE) in the Schulich School of Engineering has the overall responsibility for the coordination and delivery of a comprehensive postgraduate program specialization in the multi-disciplinary field of environmental engineering. All five engineering departments participate in delivering the Faculty-wide environmental engineering specialization.

Applications for admission to the Faculty of Graduate Studies should be submitted to the engineering department that best matches the applicant's undergraduate and/or postgraduate academic training.

1. Degrees and Specializations Offered

Degrees with an interdisciplinary specialization in Environmental Engineering:

Doctor of Philosophy (PhD)

Master of Science (MSc)

Master of Engineering (MEng)

2. Admission Requirements

In addition to the Faculty and home department requirements, the Environmental Engineering specialization requires:

Master of Engineering and Master of Science

A Bachelor's degree in engineering

Note: Applicants with applied science degrees may be considered, but additional undergraduate engineering courses may be required.

Doctor of Philosophy

A Master's degree in engineering, preferably in environmental engineering or equivalent

Note: Transfer to the doctoral program without completing the Master's degree may be approved for exceptional students.

3. Application Deadline

Deadlines for submission of complete applications for students with international transcripts:

15 May for September admission

15 September for January admission

15 December for May admission

Deadlines for submission of complete applications for students with Canadian and US transcripts:

15 June for September admission

15 October for January admission

15 March for May admission

4. Advanced Credit

See "Engineering Programs."

5. Program/Course Requirements

Master of Engineering (Courses Only Route)

10 half-courses. ENEN 603 and 605 are normally required, together with at least one of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627.

ENEN601 is not required.

Students with non-engineering undergraduate degrees may be required to take additional prerequisite courses at the undergraduate level.

Master of Engineering (Thesis Route)

A minimum of five half-courses. ENEN 603 and 605 are normally required, together with at least one of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627.

ENEN 601 is not required.

Students with non-engineering undergraduate degrees may be required to take additional prerequisite courses at the undergraduate level.

Master of Science

A minimum of five half-courses plus ENEN 601. ENEN 603 and 605 are normally required, together with at least one of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627.

Students with non-engineering undergraduate degrees may be required to take additional prerequisite courses at the undergraduate level.

Doctor of Philosophy

For applicants with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Environmental Engineering:

A minimum of three half-courses plus ENEN 601. One of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627 is normally required.

For applicants with Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Engineering, but not Environmental Engineering:

A minimum of four half-courses and ENEN 601. ENEN 603 and 605 are normally required, together with at least one of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627.

For applicants with a Bachelor's degree in Engineering, but without a completed Master's degree:

A minimum of eight half-courses plus ENEN 601. ENEN 603 and 605 are normally required, together with at least two of ENEN 621, 623, 625 or 627.

6. Additional Requirements

All full-time Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy students are required to register and participate in the Research Seminar course, Environmental Engineering 601, in each of the Fall and Winter terms.

7. Credit for Undergraduate Courses

Not applicable

8. Time Limit

Expected completion time is two years for the Master of Science degree, and three years for the Doctor of Philosophy. Maximum completion time is four years for the Master of Science degree and six years for the Master of Engineering and Doctor of Philosophy degrees.

9. Supervisory Assignments

All students are required to have a thesis supervisor before the second annual registration. For students in the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degree programs, a supervisor is normally appointed at the time of admission.

10. Required Examinations

All final thesis oral examinations involve a public seminar/presentation before a closed oral examination.

11. Research Proposal Requirements

None

12. Special Registration Information

None
