E.1 Coursework and research

The Master of Environmental Science (M.Env.Sci.)course-based Option Arequires

eight courses and a project report. The required courses are: ENVE/ENVS 6000 (Environmental Science and Technology) ENVS 6009 (Project)

ENVS 6010 (Environmental Seminar)

plus two courses from

ENVE/ENVS 6001 (Earth and Ocean Systems)

ENVE/ENVS 6002 (Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology) ENVE/ENVS 6003 (Applied Ecology)

plus three graduate courses related to the student's research specialty offered by the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Medicine or the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

 

The project reportprovides an opportunity for the student to create an original perspective on a selected environmental issue through the reading of appropriate literature and reinterpretation of other sources of information (e.g. existing data). Normally the project will be multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary in nature. The project report will be equivalent to a review article in a journal, or a consultant's report on a particular environmental issue. Collection of new data from the field or laboratory and analysis of this new data is permitted, but not required for the M.Env.Sci. degree.

 

The Master of Environmental Science (M.Env.Sci.)with work-term Option Brequires eight courses (one of which is the work term ENVS 601W) and a project report. The required courses are:

ENVE/ENVS 6000 (Environmental Science and Technology) ENVS 6009 (Project)

ENVS 6010 (Environmental Seminar)

plus two courses from

ENVE/ENVS 6001 (Earth and Ocean Systems)

ENVE/ENVS 6002 (Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology) ENVE/ENVS 6003 (Applied Ecology)

plus two graduate courses related to the student's research specialty offered by the Faculty of Science, the Faculty of Arts, the Faculty of Medicine or the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science. In addition, students will be required to complete the

3 credit hours course ENVS 601W (work term).


ENVS 601W is a paid work term of one semester (13-18 weeks) duration. Work term placements are arranged by the MUN Division of Co-operative Education in consultation with the Program Chair and the student’s Supervisor. The on-site employment supervisor and the MUN Co-op Coordinator evaluate the work term based on the student’s performance on the job and on a written work term report submitted by the student. The topic of the work term report must be related to the work experience and will be chosen

by the student in consultation with the on-site employment supervisor and the MUN Co- op Coordinator. The student will be permitted to submit a work term report only after the on-site employment supervisor and the MUN Co-op Coordinator determine that the work term has been successfully completed. The work term experience and the information gathered during the work term may become the foundation for the project report for ENVS 6009 (Project) which is required for the M.Env.Sci. Degree. The Program Chair, on the advice of the MUN Co-op Coordinator with input from the on-site employment supervisor, will recommend to the Dean of Graduate Studies a grade of Pass with Distinction, Pass or Fail. In cases where the MUN Co-op Coordinator and the on-site employment supervisor are unable to reach agreement concerning the grade, the final decision lies with the Program Chair. Should a student fail to complete a work term successfully, the graduate student’s M.Env.Sci. Supervisor and the Program Chair may submit to the MUN Division of Co-operative Education a proposal for a different work term placement (only once). Or the student may apply to the Board of Studies for a change to the course-based M.Env.Sci. Option A, or to the thesis-based M.Sc. (Environmental Science).



 

The M.Sc. (Environmental Science)requires four courses and a research thesis.The required courses are:

ENVE/ENVS 6000 (Environmental Science and Technology) ENVS 6010 (Seminar)

plus one course from

ENVE/ENVS 6001 (Earth and Ocean Systems)

ENVE/ENVS 6002 (Environmental Chemistry and Toxicology) ENVE/ENVS 6003 (Applied Ecology)

plus one graduate course related to the student’s research specialty offered by the Faculty of Science, Faculty of Arts, Faculty of Medicine or the Faculty of Engineering and Applied Science.

 

Original field, laboratory or modeling research is required for the M.Sc. degree. The research should be multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary in nature.

 

The PhD (Environmental Science)requires two courses, passing a Comprehensive

Examination and completing a research dissertation.

 

The required two courses for students entering with a disciplinary M.Sc. are: ENVS 6000 (Environmental Science and Technology)

ENVS 6010 (Environmental Seminar).


The required two courses for students entering with an interdisciplinary M.Sc. are: ENVS 6010 (Environmental Seminar)

plus an in-depth, specialty graduate course offered by the Faculty of Science to broaden the student’s perspective.

 

Original field, laboratory or modeling research is required for the PhD degree. The research should be multidisciplinary or interdisciplinary in nature. A formal PhD research proposalshould be written by the student and presented to the supervisory committee within the first year of the student’s program. The supervisory committee should have one faculty member from outside the supervisor’s home department.

 

The PhD Comprehensive Examinationadheres to the General Regulations of the

School of Graduate Studies for Comprehensive Examination procedures, Section 2.2.8

Comprehensive Examinations at http://www.mun.ca/regoff/calendar/sectionNo=GRAD-0015#GRAD-0778.

 

The exam is both written and oral. The exam will be held no later than the seventh semester of the student’s doctoral program. The candidate must demonstrate a mastery of sub-disciplines in the research area. The candidate must relate his/her research specialization to the larger context of sub-disciplines in the research area (see Appendix C).
