The thesis is guided by the Thesis Research Seminar course which provides an overview of scientific method and research activities in many fields of resource management. The Institute program integrates special seminars, conferences and field activities with courses. A number of courses draw heavily on contacts in government and the private sector for presentation and discussion of important topics. Through contact with outside experts, university staff, and through critical self-evaluation, the Institute's teaching program has continued to evolve. The academic work of the Institute is closely integrated with that of other parts of the University.
Many students augment their core curriculum through course work in other faculties.
In this way, each student is able to acquire academic strength in their chosen area of specialization. This widely based body of expert knowledge, held by the students, adds diversity and richness to the program. Page maintained by Kathleen Handziuk Last revision June 15, 2001.
