The Curriculum
The MS in Environmental Science is a 33–35
credit program that can be completed on either
a full- or part-time basis. Most classes are held
in the afternoon or evening to accommodate
working professionals.
Entry into the program requires the following
undergraduate courses: one year of general
chemistry, one term of organic chemistry, and
one year of general biology. College-level physics
and calculus are recommended but not required.
Elective courses allow students to concentrate on
a particular area of expertise, such as toxicology,
plant ecology, water science and hydrology,
conservation biology, and geographical
information systems.
Scholarship opportunities and competitive
graduate assistantships are available for
qualified candidates.
