Overview

Master of Applied Science - Environmental Engineering

This program is focused on innovative research geared towards developing new technologies and practices that ensure we have clean air to breathe, clean water to drink, clean soil to grow crops and clean energy to sustain society. 

The goal is to reduce the impact of society on the environment.

Carleton University's programs are offered through the Ottawa-Carleton Institute for Environmental Engineering, which allows graduate students to take courses at both Carleton and the University of Ottawa.

Capital Advantage

Carleton’s location in Ottawa gives students, and researchers access to excellent government labs at Environment Canada, Natural Resources Canada and others. 

It also provides unique opportunities to collaborate with researchers in these labs; the university has several graduate students who conduct their research off-campus in these world-class facilities.

Fields of Specialization

  • Air Pollution
  • Management of Solid and Hazardous Waste
  • Water Resources and Groundwater Management
  • Water and Waste Water Processing and Treatment
  • Environmental Impact Assessment, Sustainability and Climate Change
  • Green Buildings
  • Master’s students can elect to take a Collaborative Specialization in Climate Change; program requirements are found in the Graduate Calendar.

If your first language is not English, you can prove your language proficiency by:

  • presenting one of the official Language Proficiency (ESL) test scores as defined in the table;
  • showing that you have completed ESLA 1900 or ESLA 1905 at Carleton University with a final grade of B- or higher; or
  • present official certification (transcripts) that you have completed an undergraduate or graduate degree within the past three years in a university in Canada, the United States, the United Kingdom, or any country in which the primary language is English, where the language of instruction in the relevant educational institution was English, and the language of instruction in their most recently completed undergraduate or graduate degree was English.

Note: Letters from your universities stating the medium of instruction is English are not acceptable.


Academic background and requirement

  • An honours bachelor's degree, or academic equivalent, in civil or environmental engineering, or a related discipline, with an average of B+ or higher in discipline-specific courses and an overall average of B- or higher.
  • All students entering the program are required to have courses in mathematics, probability and statistics equivalent to courses required in undergraduate engineering programs.
  • Students admitted without full equivalency in these areas are expected to take appropriate undergraduate courses early in their studies. These courses will be added to the normal degree requirements.
  • For applicants to the M.A.Sc. program without a bachelor’s degree in environmental, civil or chemical engineering, up to 3 undergraduate courses may be required in addition to the graduate program requirements. These may include a course in fluid mechanics, a course in environmental engineering fundamentals and a senior level undergraduate course in environmental engineering to be identified jointly by the supervisor, Associate Chair for Graduate Studies, and Director or Associate Director for OCIENE in the department.
