Environmental Studies - MS

The Department of Environmental Studies was founded in 1970 and was one of the first such departments established in the U.S. We focus on a rigorous, systematic, and integrated approach to the study, management, and solution of environmental challenges. Our degrees prepare students for rewarding careers in the vital green economy by ensuring students have the knowledge and skills they need to succeed.

The Environmental Studies Master of Science program is designed to prepare students for careers as environmental professionals or to pursue further academic training in Ph.D. and other advanced degree programs. Global and local perspectives are integrated in the coursework and the faculty and students embrace a diversity of perspectives. Faculty members work closely with graduate students within the above areas of specialization to execute a program of study.
