Name of the sustainability-focused graduate-level degree program:
Ecosystem Health
A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:
Offered at Masters and PhD level.
The field of Ecosystem Health focuses on determining the implications of external toxicants on the health of ecosystems, discovering indicators for environmental problems, and developing methods to lessen human exposure to toxicants. In addition, researchers in the program investigate related areas such as environmental microbiology, the pathophysiology of environmental disorders, and the micro and macro environmental factors causing cancer. Finally, research in the field focuses on specific environmental problems and the development of solutions that benefit Canadians.
