The graduate option in Environment provides students with an appreciation for the role of science in informed decision-making in the environmental sector, and its influence on political, socio-economic, and ethical judgments. The option also provides a forum whereby graduate students bring their disciplinary perspectives together and enrich each other\'s learning through structured courses, formal seminars, and informal discussions and networking.
Students following the Environment option must first be accepted by the Department of Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, and then by the McGill School of Environment (MSE) before an offer of admission will be made by the University. Environment option students require either a single supervisor with a joint appointment in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the MSE, or co-supervisors, one each in Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences and the MSE.
环境方向专业让学生对科学在环境部门的决策中所扮演的角色以及它对政治、社会经济和道德判断的影响有了一个认识。这个方向还提供了一个论坛，让研究生把他们的学科观点结合在一起，通过结构化的课程、正式的研讨会、非正式的讨论和网络来丰富彼此的学习。
环境方向的学生必须先接受大气和海洋科学系的认可，然后再由麦吉尔大学环境学院(MSE)录取，然后再由大学录取。
