Master of Arts in Island Studies, Sustainable Island Communities

The Master of Arts in Island Studies (MAIS) at the University of Prince Edward Island is a unique, interdisciplinary, and policy-driven graduate program that critiques islands on their own terms. We welcome students from around the world with diverse disciplinary backgrounds and diverse degrees, or with professional workplace experience in the public, private, or resource sectors.

Our program offers a challenging opportunity for students with:

• a special interest in researching islands: their societies, economies, histories, cultures, governments, geographies, and environments
• an interest in public policy and administration
• career aspirations within local, regional, national, and international governmental and non-governmental organizations
• career aspirations in the private and resource sectors
• a desire for the challenge of graduate education
