Earning a Master's degree in environmental science equips students with research and educational experiences focused on environmental conservation, restoration, and plant development. Participants will choose advanced courses in soil science, biology, and interdisciplinary environmental subjects offered by various university departments.
Graduates who fulfill the program requirements will gain strong qualifications for careers in environmental and agricultural consulting, community college instruction, or further doctoral studies. Faculty research and teaching specialties encompass: plant responses to environmental stressors, invasive species biology, plant metabolic processes, urban horticultural systems, biological cleanup of polluted soils and water, and historical and contemporary agricultural systems. Each specialization demands original investigative work culminating in a thesis, with research quality meeting professional journal standards to enable swift publication. Students are also urged to share findings at academic conferences.
