Program Mission
The Environmental Sciences (ES) and ES Marine and Estuarine Studies Program (ES-MESP) Graduate Program Mission is to educate future professionals who are prepared to deal with the complex array of environmental problems, by bringing together various disciplinary insights and skills. We will develop scientists who can analyze environmental changes and participate in management decisions. Our scientists will be able to respond to public demands for greater protection of environmental quality by developing and using state-of the-art tools and techniques for evaluation, management, remediation and restoration.
Graduate Program Student Learning Goals
The goals of the ES and ES-MESP MS degree are to support student learning and improvement in:
- Foundational knowledge and skills
- Quantitative skills
- Critical thinking.
It is our expectation that our graduates will apply these as professionals who can integrate chemical, physical, biological, and other specialized knowledge in order to understand, predict, and/or manage environmental responses brought about by natural and man-made events.
