The Evergreen State College
Evergreen’s Master of Environmental Studies (MES) degree is a two- or three-year evening degree incorporating natural sciences, social sciences, public policy, and environmental humanities.
Environmental work naturally crosses disciplines. As an MES student, you’ll experience the Evergreen model of interdisciplinary programs, where faculty teach together across disciplines, and your coursework combines natural and social sciences as well as communication, policy, and political advocacy. You’ll be able to create your own path, whether you enter with a clear goal or discover your passion along the way.
The program takes you from a core of interdisciplinary studies, through electives and internships, up to a research project presented and published before you graduate. You’ll work with a variety of faculty throughout your studies, including professionals in the field. You do not need to find your own faculty advisor.
