Bangladesh's original graduate environmental-management degree (roughly 36 credits), developed with the University of Manitoba under a Canadian capacity-building project and built for a country on the front line of climate risk. Interdisciplinary by design — resource economics, impact assessment, integrated resource management, pollution control, climate change and GIS — it draws students from many backgrounds with an explicit emphasis on gender equity, closing with a six-credit thesis.
