The Environment graduate concentration offers students the opportunity to pursue environment-focused graduate research in the context of a range of different fields, including Anthropology, Atmospheric and Oceanic Sciences, Biology, Bioresource Engineering, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Entomology, Epidemiology, Experimental Medicine, Geography, Law, Microbiology, Plant Science, Parasitology, Philosophy, Renewable Resources, and Sociology. Through a program consisting of research, seminars, and two courses, this concentration adds a layer of interdisciplinarity that challenges students to develop and defend their research and think in a broader context. Students graduating from the M.Sc. or Ph.D. program under the Environment concentration will therefore be able to understand and critically analyze an environmental problem from several perspectives (e.g., social, cultural, scientific, technological, ethical, economic, political, legislative) and at a local, national, regional, and/or international scale. In addition, they will be able to explore and critically assess analytic and institutional approaches for alleviating the selected environmental problem, and to effectively communicate research findings to both specialist and lay audiences. Coordinated and administered through the McGill School of Environment (MSE), the Environment concentration is aimed at students who wish to use interdisciplinary approaches in their graduate research on environmental issues and who wish to benefit from interactions that will occur as they interact with students from a wide range of disciplines.
环境研究生项目为学生提供了在不同领域的背景下追求以环境为基础的研究机会，包括人类学，大气与海洋科学，生物学，生物资源学，地球与行星科学，昆虫学，流行病学，实验医学，地理，法律，微生物，植物科学，寄生虫学，哲学，可再生资源和社会学。通过该项目包含的研究，研讨会和两门课程的学习，该项目增加了一门多学科课程，这挑战了学生，使他们能够在更广阔背景下发展和捍卫自己的研究和思考。环境方向的硕士或博士毕业生将能够从多角度（如社会，文化，科学，技术，伦理，经济，政策，立法），以及当地，国家，区域和/或国际层面上去理解和分析环境问题。此外，他们将能够为缓解特定的环境问题进行探索和批判性的评估分析，以及制定方法，并有效的将研究结果转达给专家和外行听众。环境项目由麦吉尔环境学院（MSE）协调和管理，其目标学生是那些想要在环境问题研究生课题中采取跨学科方法的人，以及那些想要与具有不用学科背景的学生进行互动，从而受益的人。
