Master of Resource and Environmental Management (MREM)

The Master of Resource and Environmental Management (MREM) involves intensive coursework and an applied internship during a 16-month period. It graduates highly skilled professionals with the problem-solving tools and scientific (social and biophysical) understanding to create innovative solutions to resource and environmental issues.

The program's goal is to produce graduates who can confidently and collaboratively address the interdisciplinary dimensions of resource and environmental problems. The MREM degree is an advanced “professional” degree aimed at management and practical problem-solving.
