Environmental Science - MS

The Environmental Science Graduate Program (ESGP) at Oklahoma State University prepares graduate students for careers as environmental scientists. Our interdisciplinary degree program attracts and produces students capable of thinking beyond a single discipline. We work with 30 different departments on campus so our students can choose from more than 200 courses to develop a plan of study which addresses their individual career goals. We offer both Master of Science and the Doctor of Philosophy degrees at our main campus in Stillwater, Oklahoma. At our satellite campus in Tulsa, we offer the Professional Science Master’s Degree in Environmental Management, a program that is accredited by the National Professional Science Master's Association and the first of its kind in Oklahoma.

The Environmental Science Graduate Program offers both a traditional master's degree with thesis and a non-thesis option.  This page describes the thesis option offered on our main campus at Stillwater.  Students who plan to work in industry, consulting, or with regulatory agencies (such as EPA, ODEQ, etc.) may consider the Professional Science Master program offered at OSU-Tulsa.

The ESGP program is an interdisciplinary program, and thus the students’ research efforts are expected to address an environmental problem from multiple perspectives, which may include a social and/or economic perspective. Students must also complete a program assessment form upon completion of degree and return it to the program coordinator.  Master's students may choose one of the following research options: thesis and non-thesis.
