The MSES is a two-year, professional or research-oriented master’s degree program. The various joint degree programs associated with the MSES range from 2.5 to 4 years in length. The MSES program combines a series of fundamental or core courses with more in-depth courses in a concentration area, an integrating project-oriented course, and either an internship or research thesis.
Over the course of the past three decades, close to 1,000 students have earned Master of Science in Environmental Science (MSES) degrees, one of our innovative and cost-effective joint degrees (e.g., MSES/MPA, MSES/JD, MSES/Journalism, MSES/Biology, MSES/Geology), or a Ph.D. in Environmental science after beginning their studies in our MSES program.
The primary objectives of the environmental science graduate programs are to provide:
Rigorous training in a chosen environmental science specialization
Exposure to the broader interdisciplinary context necessary for developing solutions to complex environmental problems.
MSES students in the School of Public and Environmental Affairs can take advantage of the top-ranked program in Environmental Policy and Natural Resources Management in the U.S., housed in the same school as our Environmental Science program.
The MSES Program consists of three components:
Core curriculum of ecology, environmental chemistry, applied math for environmental sciences, environmental engineering, and statistics with a selection of courses in environmental policy, management, law and/or economics.
