Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences
We're always in the field and aiding our community. We like to roll up our sleeves and literally get down into the dirt. Like when we discover abandoned mines in the Mahoning Valley, or find ways to improve our local water quality.
Advance your career through our Environmental Science master's program and develop your expertise in an interdisciplinary field.
Combining lab and classroom experiences, the program offers an interdepartmental and multidisciplinary education to prepare you for the future. You will be able to expand on your undergraduate degree in environmental science, other natural or social sciences, engineering or health professions.
The master's degree is designed with your goals in mind and prepare you for supervisory roles and professional advancement. Courses emphasize a risk-based approach to the solving of environmental problems. Evaluating alternative energy systems, finding solutions to environmental problems and understanding the effects of global climate change and pollution control are just some of the issues you'll tackle, gaining the knowledge needed to be employed in key positions addressing environmental impacts.
