The Master of Science in Environmental Science program at Sitting Bull College prepares graduates as leaders in environmental, wildlife, and natural resource management fields.  Students attain education through research, practical application, and the use of modern technology in order to build intellectual capital.  The educational process is guided by western science methodologies balanced with traditional Lakota/Dakota cultural values.

The graduate program in Environmental Science (ENS) is an extension and builds off of the college’s current A.S. and B.S. programs. The program description for the B.S. program states that it is designed to provide students with a background sufficient to make them competitive in the workplace for careers in environmental science, natural resource management, wildlife management, and other science-related disciplines. The program will prepare students to conduct scientific research using methodology necessary to attain results that will be used for science-related, managerial decisions. The graduate program will build upon the objectives of the B.S. program by allowing students to gain greater skills in specific areas.
