- Description
- The Environmental Studies 5-year accelerated M.S. degree program provides students with the opportunity to complete an undergraduate degree (B.A. or B.S.) in one of three disciplines (Environmental Studies and Sciences, Biology, or Natural Sciences) as well as an Environmental Studies, M.S. degree within 5 years. A maximum of 12 credits from courses at the 500-699 level can be taken in the senior year for undergraduate credit and applied toward the M.S. requirements. Students currently enrolled in an Environmental Studies, B.A. , Environmental Science, B.S. , Biology, B.A. , Biology, B.S. , or Natural Sciences, B.S. are eligible to apply for the Accelerated M.S. in Environmental Studies program. Interested students must obtain the permission of the Graduate Coordinator and meet entry level requirements before being accepted into the Master of Science program. Once accepted, students can take up to 12 credits of Environmental Studies and Sciences courses (ENV or EAS) between the 500 and 699 level and apply these to both the undergraduate and graduate degrees either as electives or degree requirements (when applicable). This would enable the completion of the Master of Science in Environmental Studies with as little as 21 graduate credits in the fifth year.
