This field requires understanding of a number of disciplines, including biology, chemistry, hydrology and climatology. Entrance Requirements In addition to the general entrance requirements for all applicants, entrance to the M.S. Program in Environmental Science requires a Bachelor of Science degree in science, mathematics,or engineering. Curriculum and Plan of Study The requirements for the M.S.E.S. degree include two sets of courses. The first set includes three required core courses that form the basis for further specialization. The second set of seven to nine courses comprise the area(s) of specialization. The remainder of required credits (a total of 48 credits for nonthesis; 45 credits for thesis) are elective courses. Within the first quarter of study, a student must meet with an assigned advisor and work out a plan of study. Plan of study forms can be downloaded by clicking below and printing out the form. A student may, under the advise of a faculty member, develop a unique plan of study combining one or more areas of interest.
