Ryerson University offers a Master's degree in Environmental Applied Science and Management for graduate study in environmental science, technology, environmental management systems and decision making. This is a multidisciplinary program for full-time and part-time graduate students who are seeking advanced study in a professionally-based environmental program that provides opportunities for research in a variety of environmental fields and that leads to management roles in an expanding environment industry.

The Environmental Applied Science and Management program is the leader in integrating the environmental science disciplines with studies in environmental management. The curriculum reflects the view that graduate work in the environmental management field requires not only a knowledge of the environmental sciences and how they are applied, but an understanding of environmental management theory and practice. In combining applied science and management, the program also follows the Ryerson university tradition of applied education and research.

The program takes a systems management approach to environmental problem solving in the private and public sectors. In order to respond to the complex environmental challenges in air, water and soil quality, energy and resource utilization, waste management and development impacts, industries and governments must develop an improved scientific and technical understanding of environmental issues and a proficiency in environmental analysis and decision-making. An environmental systems management approach, one that attempts to integrate a number of decisions an organization can make and their effects on the environment, is the focus of the graduate program.
