The Environmental Science Department (ENVS) at UA provides graduate programs culminating in a Master of Science degree in Soil, Water and Environmental Science, with two specialization paths: Environmental Science or Soil and Water Science. Additionally, the department features a combined degree program, allowing students to earn both an MS in Soil, Water and Environmental Science and an MA in Journalism. Holders of this dual degree will be equipped to significantly influence how scientific information is collected and assessed within media outlets, as well as shape broader conversations in both scientific and journalistic circles regarding public understanding, policy impacts, and societal effects of scientific advancements.
ENVS actively promotes professional development by encouraging conference participation, student presentations, and academic publications. The department frequently hosts workshops covering diverse subjects, from digital research tools to technical writing. Beyond academics, regular gatherings like department picnics and seminar series foster networking and camaraderie among students and faculty.
Graduates with an MS in Soil, Water and Environmental Science gain qualifications for professional roles across multiple sectors, including corporate enterprises, government bodies, academic institutions, and environmental consulting firms.
