The Faculty of Environmental and Urban Change is home to two graduate programs, in Environmental Studies and in Geography. Both programs offer Masters and PhD degrees but differ in their faculty membership, program requirements and intellectual orientation.
All together, EUC is home to about 250 active graduate students and they are an integral part of our research and teaching mission.
Further information on each program is available on the webpages for Environmental Studies and Geography. The profiles below provide a sample of the innovative research being conducted by our graduate students.
