Master of Science in Environmental Science

The M.S. in Environmental Science emphasizes the fundamental science and regulatory framework of the environmental field, while broadly addressing analysis and design of both technological and management-oriented solutions to environmental problems. A minimum of 30 term-credit hours beyond the baccalaureate degree is required. For full-time graduate students, 6 term-credit hours may involve research and completion of a Master's thesis, with approval from the student's advisor, with an additional 24 term-credit hours of course work. The program also has the flexibility to meet the needs of part-time students, already working in industry, who typically take the non-thesis route requiring 30 term-credit hours of course work. All environmental graduate courses are offered with evening class times, and via distance learning, to accommodate the busy schedules of working professionals
