(non-thesis) program in the Faculty of Agricultural and Environmental Scie nces!  \n\nWith a non-thesis master’s program\, you can add a graduate lev el specialization beyond your bachelor’s degree\, in only 12 to 16 months! Non-thesis programs emphasize comprehensive and career-focused learning o pportunities. Their objective is to equip students with skills in problem identification\, information literacy\, and independent thinking to pursue professional opportunities (or potentially continue their studies).\n\nAl l programs are 45 credits (equivalent to three full-time terms). A supervi sor is not required for acceptance to a non-thesis master’s program. Stude nts are guided by a program advisor. All programs are course-based with a research project or internship. In preparation for finding and selecting t heir research project or internship\, students will participate in our Gra duate Internship Seminar Series and will receive assistance from their pro gram advisor. These programs require students to have their own source of funding to pay program fees. For information on program fees\, visit Fee C alculator - Graduate Tuition & Fees\, select your residency status and “Ma sters non-thesis programs”.  To estimate the cost for the full 45 credit p rogram\, calculate the total shown for fall and winter terms (30 credits)\ , divide by 30 and multiply by 45. \n\nSpecial extended application submis sion deadlines for current ɬ﷬ students / Fall 2025 admission in the fo llowing programs:\n\n\n \n Water Resources Management\n Environmental Enginee ring\n Integrated Food and Bioprocessing\n Animal Science\, concentration in Sustainable Agriculture\n \n\n\n\n \n Food Science\n Food Safety\n Human Nutri tion\n \n\n  \n\n\n \n\n\n Canadian students (citizens/permanent residents)\n \n Application deadline: May 31\n\n\n\n International students\n\n Applicatio n deadline: April 20\n\n\n\nProgram details\n\n\n Animal Science\, concentr ation in Sustainable Agriculture\n\n \n Climate change and rising human popu lation have increased the need for sustainable agricultural practices.
