Majors and degree programs

Yes

Name of the sustainability-focused graduate-level degree program:
M.S. in Environmental Science

A brief description of the graduate-level degree program:
The M.S. in Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary program housed in the College of Natural and Behavioral Science (NBS). The mission of the program is to prepare leaders, thinkers and planners necessary to address and solve environmental challenges using interdisciplinary approaches.

Because of our location and internship opportunities, the emphasis of the program is on the urban environment.

Core and elective courses in the natural and social sciences introduce students to the unique problems of the urban environment; to environmental analysis, policy and planning; to mathematical and analytic skills, and to the original research literature in environmental science.

Elective courses allow students the flexibility to tailor their academic programs to meet specific goals. Real-world experience is obtained through internships in governmental, non-governmental, or other organizations. The program culminates with an original research project leading to a thesis.
