Department of Environmental Science
At the graduate level, the MS and MA degrees offer students an integrated approach to the study of natural resources, and rigorous training in specific fields of study. These include environmental compliance, hydrologic and terrestrial ecosystems, conservation biology, and habitat and wildlife management. Through course work, research, and fieldwork, all graduates develop the scientific understanding, theoretical perspectives, and professional skills needed to become effective and innovative administrators, policy makers, resource managers, conservation practitioners, consultants, researchers, or educators, all of whom play a significant role in shaping the future and solving critical environmental problems.
The MS requires at least 30 semester hours with a thesis while the MA requires at least 36 semester hours and a non-thesis.
