MASTER’S DEGREE PROGRAMS
Master of Science in Environmental Science The degree is designed to provide the knowledge and technical skills in environmental science that prepares students to work in the rapidly growing field of environmental monitoring and conservation, or to continue toward a Ph.D. degree. Students also develop the skills required for employment with environmental assessment/monitoring businesses and state government agencies. The program faculty are actively engaged in research projects and have access to a variety of excellent field research sites. Research currently is being conducted at local (e.g., Hoffler Creek Nature Preserve), regional (e.g.,Great Dismal Swamp National Wildlife Refuge) and national (e.g.,Death Valley National Park) sites as well as international locations. All courses are taught in the 160,000 square foot Forbes Hall, which contains 70 teaching labs and student research spaces as well as state of the art classrooms. The Graduate Studies office is located in Trible Library 243 and welcomes inquiries from those interested in the master’s programs.
