All MES and PhD applicants must show evidence of strong interest in, and suitability for, their desired field of study. They must also demonstrate their capacity to undertake graduate work in an interdisciplinary, individualized program. Meeting the minimum admissions requirements for either the MES or PhD program is not a guarantee of acceptance for admission. Successful applicants will be selected on the basis of scholarship, experience, interests, and accomplishments, as well as the resources of the Faculty and space limitations. The admissions processes for MES and PhD applicants are separate.
Detailed attention is directed to the statement of career and educational objectives.
Preference will be given to applicants with experience relevant to their proposed studies in the Faculty and whose chosen field of study is consistent with current Faculty activities. The Master in Environmental Studies program at York is one which is best pursued on a full-time basis. However, a limited number of part-time applications will be considered. It is incumbent upon international applicants that they secure funding and provide evidence of such support before they can be offered admission to the Faculty. Applications and all supporting documents should be submitted by March 1.
