The MCC program in Master of Climate Change is a specialized, course-based (non-thesis) program that would be completed over a period of three terms (12 months) of full-time studies. This program is designed with the flexibility to meet the needs of recent graduates who endeavour to become part of the first generation of climate change professionals by building on their undergraduate degree with climate change specific training and experience. This program will also be of interest to mid-career professionals looking to upgrade their current knowledge and skills to take on the challenges climate change poses to their field or retrain for new employment opportunities created by climate change. The MCC will be an on-campus, classroom-based program at the outset. Later, the intention is to develop e-learning opportunities to offer a blended learning environment to better support professionals wanting to upgrade their skills through part part-time enrolment and distance education
