| Environmental Management in Sustainabilty Program Description |
| The Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Management in Sustainability will be a non-thesis master’s degree focusing on practical application of concepts in environmental science, management, and sustainability. It will develop a pipeline of diverse graduates into the environmental workforce, attracting a new cadre of students from different racial, ethnic, and academic backgrounds. It will offer training in the fundamentals of <br>environmental science, team science, science communication, and environmental management, incorporating an apprenticeship experience that leads to a capstone final project. It will condense this training into a 4+1 Bachelors/Master’s program that will reduce financial burdens and increase benefits for learners, with direct pathways into the regional environmental workforce. |
