The University of Ottawa’s Collaborative Program in Environmental Sustainability is a program that will allow students doing their master’s in the participating programs (for example, Biology and Geography) to specialize in environmental sustainability. The program will have two options – a thesis option and, where applicable, a major research paper – and will lead to the awarding of the designation of “Specialization in Environmental Sustainability.”

The guiding objective of the Collaborative Program is to help train the next generation of leaders and professionals with the skills and abilities needed to address environmental problems, and to identify and analyze the interconnections among environmental issues and the various disciplines.
