Diploma Programs
Diploma Programs:
Diploma programs are open to students in any relevant graduate program or to those who have a general interest in graduate-level work. For diplomas that are part of a graduate degree (concurrent), please contact the relevant graduate program office. For graduate diplomas that can be pursued on their own (stand-alone, direct entry), applications are submitted online.
The Graduate Diplomas in Environmental/Sustainability Education are the only ones of their kind in Ontario. They are jointly offered by the Graduate Programs in Education and Environmental Studies.
The concurrent (Option A) and stand-alone (Option B) diplomas in Environmental/Sustainability Education are designed to meet longstanding graduate student interest, and help to educate teachers in the field of environmental and sustainability education, in both the public and private education systems, and in other organizations and institutions committed to environmental and sustainability education.
