Program Overview

Master Environmental Planning and Management with an M.S. in Environmental Sciences Unlock your potential in environmental planning and management through our specialized M.S. in Environmental Sciences program. This concentration empowers you to lead and make a lasting impact in the field of environmental planning.

Learning Outcomes

  • Analyze environmental issues in a logical manner by breaking down an issue into constituent parts, identifying players and relationships among players in those parts, describing these relationships, recognizing unstated assumptions, distinguishing facts from opinions and distinguishing statements of cause from statements of effect.
  • Critically appraise the value of data and information relevant to environmental questions and problems, including the appropriateness and adequacy of any qualitative or quantitative methods used in its compilation. In evaluating evidence or arguments, a student integrates key theories, information from works of recognized excellence and facts and generalizations germane to a field to verify the soundness of arguments.
  • Synthesize diverse ideas relevant to environmental science to form a coherent perspective on how best to further research in the field and/or create polices or practices designed to address environmental problems. The parts to be integrated may, to the extent necessary, come from a variety of disciplines.
  • Create a research proposal or applied plan of work that includes asking and answering questions relevant to environmental studies, testing hypotheses or assumptions based on previous research or observations, collecting information to analyze the factors involved, modifying the hypotheses or assumptions based on new factors or considerations and then making inferences and recommendations based on findings.
  • Design effective ways of presenting data and information from the environmental sciences to others through written, visual and oral means.
