The master’s in environmental science at Florida Tech prepares graduates for career opportunities and advanced academic studies in the use, control, and preservation of environmental resources. Because today’s increasingly complex technological society has placed new demands on the understanding of human interaction with the environment, the need has never been greater for highly skilled scientists to develop data and information to help decision-makers craft policies on the use and protection of our natural environment.

Florida Tech’s environmental science program provides a thorough background in the biological and chemical fundamentals of natural environmental systems with specific areas of emphasis related to:

• Water and air resources
• Water and wastewater treatment
• Hazardous and toxic materials
• Nuclear wastes

Graduates with a master’s in environmental science are the scientists and problem-solvers who lead collaborative teams from consulting firms, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations to solve today’s environmental issues.
