Queen's University's MES program offers advanced education in Environmental Sustainability through an interdisciplinary lens, examining enduring environmental transformations, how present choices affect future outcomes, and humanity's profound reliance on ecological health.
This graduate program adheres to conventional academic progression. Students must complete four half-credit courses, undertake original research leading to a thesis, and successfully defend their work within a two-year timeframe.
The Environmental Studies program at Queen's delivers specialized graduate education in sustainability, employing cross-disciplinary methods to investigate persistent environmental shifts, the relationship between current actions and future consequences, and how human welfare fundamentally depends on ecosystem integrity. With increasing demand for environmental expertise across sectors, students seek advanced qualifications for careers in private, public, and non-profit organizations. Our curriculum addresses this need through collaborative initiatives spanning multiple Queen's and RMC departments such as Biology, Business Administration, Chemistry, Development Studies, Engineering, Geography, and related fields.

Applicants for graduate studies in the School of Environmental Studies must have, or expect to have a four year Honours degree (or the equivalent) with a Second Class standing (B+ 75-79%, GPA 3.3/4), or with qualifications accepted as equivalent from a recognized university. The GRE is not required or used.
The minimum requirement is a cumulative average 75% (B+), with the last two years given the most importance. Our minimum is 75/100 or B+ standing. This would correspond to a GPA of 3.3 our of 4.3. For English as a foreign language tests, our minimum TOEFL score is 600 paper or 250 computer based. The minimum IELTS accepted by Queen's is Band 7.0. Canada will introduce the new TOEFL iBT in 2006. Minimum scores will be Writing (24/30), Speaking (22/30), Reading (22/30), Listening (20/30) for a total of 88/120. We do not use GRE scores. In practice, we start acceptances with the top students and work down. This means that with each year the cut-off average varies.
