Information sessions for Masters’ Programs in Island Tourism and Sustainable Island Communities at UPEI, January 29
UPEI is hosting an information session for those interested in any of three versions of its Master of Arts in Island Studies degree program. In addition to the long-standing thesis option, students will be able to take one of two course and work-study-based specializations in Island Tourism or Sustainable Island Communities. Both programs begin in September of 2019. The courses can be taken in-person or online at the student’s convenience. These two-year programs incorporate two work-study courses, which allow students to work directly with island organizations.
“Students have the option of specializing in one of the fastest growing global sectors—tourism—or developing a better understanding of how islands are becoming more sustainable in our changing world,” said Dr. Jim Randall, coordinator of the Master of Arts in Island Studies program. “These new course-based master’s degrees are from a university recognized as the world leader in island studies scholarship and learning and provide graduates with high-quality post-graduate credentials targeted to their own specific career needs.”
Scholarships and bursaries are available. Learn more about these exciting new degree programs at two information sessions on Tuesday, January 29 at 3:00 pm and 6:00 pm in room 237 of UPEI’s Don and Marion McDougall Hall. For more information, contact Dr. Randall at mais@upei.ca or 902-620-5013.
