Overview
Within the Environmental Science and Policy, M.Sc. program at George Mason University we study areas of specific departmental focus include ecosystems, conservation, environmental biocomplexity, molecular ecology, sustainability science, environmental policy and management, and human/environmental interactions.
These professionals will also contribute to the analysis and resolution of global problems such as deforestation, insufficient world food supplies, population growth, planetary health, and global climate change/warming.
Key Features
- Environmental problems are defined in the real world and do not necessarily conform to traditional academic disciplines.
- As such, solutions require creative combinations of diverse interests and subjects.
- Effective training requires rigorous, problem-focused transdisciplinary action in a setting in which research is an essential element supporting instruction.
