The Environmental Science Department at UA (ENVS) provides graduate programs culminating in a Master of Science degree with concentrations in Soil, Water, and Environmental Science. Students can choose between two specializations: Environmental Science or Soil and Water Science.
The department additionally features a combined degree program: a Master of Science in Soil, Water and Environmental Science paired with a Master of Arts in Journalism. Holders of this dual MS/MA degree will be equipped to significantly influence both newsroom conversations about scientific reporting standards and broader dialogues between scientific and journalistic communities regarding how such information shapes public opinion, policy decisions, and societal impacts of science. ENVS actively promotes conference participation, with encouragement given to student presentations and publications. The department frequently hosts workshops covering diverse subjects from digital resources to technical writing.
Beyond academic pursuits, the department organizes various social events including annual picnics and regular seminars, fostering networking and camaraderie among students and faculty.
