20 Master's degrees offered by the university

The Geospatial Information Science and Engineering program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry is designed for specialized study in spatial information acquisition, analysis, modeling and applications.

The Natural Resources Management program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry focuses on both the underlying theory and on-the-ground application of practices to achieve sustainable outcomes in natural resource systems.

Molecular Biology and Ecology from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry develop and apply molecular biological methods to address questions in Ecology.

We offer a master degree in Conservation Biology at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This area entails study and maintenance of biological diversity at the level of genes, populations, communities, ecosystems and biomes; intellectual underpinnings include evolutionary theory, systematic biology, population biology and ecosystem science.

The Water Resources Engineering program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry addresses the analysis, prediction and design of water resource systems.

The SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry program offering M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in chemistry with an emphasis in Environmental Chemistry is one of the few doctoral programs of its type within a chemistry department in the United States. The six core faculty and five participating faculty make it one of the largest such programs in the world.

The Environmental Studies graduate program at SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry is dedicated to preparing students to actively support local to global communities working to achieve sustainability. The program integrates social, cultural, and environmental knowledge and skills to address the challenges of the 21st century. Students in this program want to make a difference.

The Sustainable Energy Management (SEM) program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry is structured to introduce students to a wide range of energy markets and resources (fossil fuels, electricity, renewable and sustainable energy resources) while maintaining substantial flexibility for student-centered learning in understanding and managing energy systems.

We offer a master degree in Environmental Communication at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This study area addresses the communicative dynamics of the formation of attitudes. 

Wildlife Ecology and Management from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry students will undertake a professional experience in wildlife management or policy, or a synthesis course in wildlife management planning. M.S. and Ph.D. students will address important research questions in wildlife science, typically aimed at supporting resource management agencies in their decision making.

Forest Management and Operations from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry enables students to integrate knowledge and expertise drawn from both the natural and social sciences, and to apply their knowledge to solve practical forest management problems.

We offer a master degree in Chemical Ecology at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. As a relatively new interdisciplinary endeavor, workers in this field attempt to understand organismal interactions, both intra- and interspecific, mediated by chemical substances such as hormones, pheromones, kairomones and phytoalexins.

Indigenous Peoples and the Environment from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry work collaboratively to generate strategies for vital new directions in environmental thinking, which engage both Indigenous knowledge and the tools of western science..

The Ecology and Ecosystems program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry focuses on the structure, function, dynamics, and resilience of terrestrial ecosystems, at a range of scales, from tree genetics and plant physiology to landscape ecology, modeling and remote sensing.

The Monitoring, Analysis and Modeling program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry focuses on the application of statistical and operations research methods and techniques used to sample, describe and predict how individual trees, forest stands and terrestrial ecosystems change over both temporal and spatial scales.

Sustainable Management from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry is for students interested in sustainable construction practices including topics such as energy use in buildings, material use in sustainable construction, life cycle analysis, environmental rating systems and environmental performance measures.

The Ecological Engineering program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry is the design of ecosystems for the mutual benefit of humans and the environment. Ideal design considers humans to be part of nature rather than apart from nature.

The Environmental Policy program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry addresses problems of environmental decision making at a time of rapid institutional and social change.

The Graduate option in Sustainable Construction at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry allow students with technical degrees to engage specific topics of current interest.

Ecology and Evolution from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry work collaboratively to generate strategies for vital new directions in environmental thinking, which engage both Indigenous knowledge and the tools of western science..
