MENVST - Envir St & Sus

The MS in Environmental Studies and Sustainability prepares students for the essential work of helping reduce the harm caused by human activities to the ecological systems on which we depend. This may lead some students to a concentration in Conservation Biology, conducing research and developing policies to preserve or restore threatened habitats and populations of species. Others may focus on transforming the human impact through a concentration in Sustainability and Climate Solutions, helping envision and plan communities, practices, and networks that are more resilient, sustainable, and even regenerative. Throughout this degree students apply what they learn to the places where they live and work, acquiring knowledge and professional skills that prepare them for work in agencies and organizations, or to continue their research at the next level.
