The Master of Science in Biology program at Shippensburg University has an emphasis in Ecology and Environmental Science that focuses on:

• Increasing the knowledge of biological processes governing the relationships among organisms
• Organisms and their environment
• Organisms and humans

This program prepares future professionals to understand, predict, and/or manage environmental responses brought about by natural and man-made events. Human disturbances of any kind produce unforeseen and often detrimental environmental consequences. The subject of protection of environmental resources and the techniques for their evaluation, management, and restoration are prime interests in modern society. Our classes are small with opportunities to work with peers and faculty. Successful students are poised to seek new fields of endeavor, advance in their current professions, or prepare themselves for continuing academic training or education.
