Program Description
The Environmental Sciences Graduate Program gives students the knowledge and skills to develop critical solutions for a changing planet. The course of study is built on a foundation of biology, chemistry, physics and mathematics and prepares students for careers in environmental consulting, regulatory agencies, industry, legal and science policy professions, and education. The backgrounds of successful applicants vary greatly. All are expected to have earned an undergraduate degree in a science or engineering discipline with appropriate backgrounds in core science and math. Otherwise highly qualified applicants who lack any of the above requirements may be allowed to correct this after admission. Selected applicants from non-scientific fields are sometimes admitted and have a good record of accomplishment.
