Overview

Master of Environmental Toxicology

Environmental toxicology is a rapidly expanding area of environmental science concerned with understanding the adverse effects of chemical, physical, and biological agents on living organisms. 

Organisms are continually exposed to and challenged by chemicals in the environment—and environmental toxicologists are interested in finding scientifically sound answers to questions like:

  • Which chemicals are dangerous?
  • What are the environmental and biological fates of these chemicals?
  • How much exposure will cause harm?
  • What are the deleterious effects of exposure to a particular chemical?

The MET is a professional Master's program and is primarily course-work based. The program requires the completion of 7 core courses, 3 electives, and a thesis for a minimum of 38 units

The program at SFU is normally completed within 9 terms and requires successful completion and defence of a MET project based on original research.
