The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) in Agriculture and Life Sciences offered through the field of Natural Resources is available for returning or continuing students interested in a professional career path in environmental science and management. This degree typically is pursued by a person already employed in an environmentally related professional capacity who plans to continue in this field, or by a more recent graduate seeking further coursework to enhance their skills and training in specific areas.
The MPS degree is designed for candidates whose interests are not primarily research-oriented, but instead focused on a career in environmental management working with local and international government agencies, non-government organizations, and academic institutions. Students in the MPS program maximize their career potential by acquiring advanced skills required for a career in environmental management, expanding their professional abilities and networks, and becoming more immediately marketable in the field of Natural Resources.
