Data source(s) and notes about the submission:
The School of Environmental Studies creates UVic's major sustainability programs. It offers interdisciplinary programs, with courses that examine systemic aspects of environmental issues and explore solutions that cut across the boundaries of traditional disciplines. We also recognize that many aspects of local, national and international environmental problems are inextricably connected to our dominant cultural values, and attendant political, social, economic and educational institutions. The graduate programs offered are research based and require the completion of an independent research project to graduate.
UVic offers 13 sustainability focused graduate-level major degree programs and 21 sustainability related graduate-level major degree programs. Sustainability focused graduate-level courses were determined if over 50% of that departments courses offered were identified as sustainability focused courses based on our definition of a sustainability focused course. These sustainability focused graduate programs can all also be taken as a minor or concentration within a student’s degree program.
