MS in Environmental Science

The master's degree in Environmental Sciences provides students an interdisciplinary understanding of how the Earth’s systems are interrelated and training to handle and interpret the wide variety of data that is incorporated into this type of research. The master’s degree requires at least 30 credit hours of graduate course work approved by the student’s advisory committee and either a thesis, or original report (non-thesis option). A master's degree in Environmental Science prepares students to enter a Ph.D. program or for career opportunities with environmental consulting firms and industry, state natural-resource agencies and geological surveys, planning commissions and water-resource agencies, state and national regulatory agencies, universities, colleges and secondary schools. Partial completion of this degree can include our Certificate in Hydrogeology and Groundwater Modeling.
