17 Master's degrees offered by the university
Bioprocess Engineering
We offer a master degree in Bioprocess Engineering at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Projects conducted in the department under this option develop fundamental knowledge of biorefinery processes for application in the production of a wide spectrum of industrial products and fuels from bioresources, primarily lignocellulosics.
Forest Pathology and Mycology
The Forest Pathology and Mycology program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestrytrains students to understand tree diseases and fungi from the perspective of basic biology and ecology as well as that of societal needs.
Microbiology
Microbiology from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry study opportunities exploring the role and diversity of microbes in clinical, industrial, and environmental realms.
Molecular Biology and Ecology
Molecular Biology and Ecology from SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry develop and apply molecular biological methods to address questions in Ecology.
Environmental Chemistry
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.
Polymer Chemistry
Graduate students in Polymer Chemistry at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry select their courses from a range of offerings in chemistry, chemical engineering, mathematics, physics, and other appropriate areas.
Conservation Biology
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.
Paper Science and Engineering
We offer a master degree in Paper Science and Engineering at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. This study area deals with colloidal phenomena in the papermaking process, in particular the interaction among fibers, fine particles, polymeric additives, and electrolytes in stock preparation and sheet formation.
Wildlife Ecology and Management
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.
Chemical Ecology
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.
Entomology
We offer a master degree in Entomology at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Graduate study opportunities prepare students in the basic aspects of insect life and the role of insects in relation to humans and their environment.
Biochemistry
We offer a master degree in Biochemistry at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Graduate studies in Biochemistry reflect the College’s interests in microbial, insect, bio-based fuel, and plant biochemistry.
Ecology and Ecosystems
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.
Monitoring, Analysis and Modeling
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.
Plant Science and Biotechnology
We offer a master degree in Plant Science and Biotechnology at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry. Plants, as the base for ecological food chains, serve as the structural and functional foundation of natural and managed systems.
Organic Chemistry of Natural Products
Graduate students in the Organic Chemistry of Natural Products program at the SUNY - College of Environmental Science and Forestry take a one-year course sequence in mechanistic organic chemistry and another in synthetic organic chemistry. Additionally, one-semester courses are required in physical chemistry and the organic chemistry of natural products.
Ecology and Evolution
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..
