This 21-month, immersive, cohort-based graduate Environment program of the University of Colorado at Boulder develops students into leaders in a wide range of careers in conservation, consulting, energy, natural resources, planning, policy, sustainability and more.

The MENV program focuses on application and problem solving, and the curriculum is comprised of four components:
