Overview

Environmental Science is a science based interdisciplinary graduate program. A workforce trained to address problems facing marine and estuarine environments is critical to protecting water quality, sustaining populations of living resources, managing habitats and mitigating the impacts of human activities. A master’s in environmental sciences prepares scientists to:

identify and quantify the presence and impacts of pollutants, toxins and mixtures thereof in marine and estuarine waters.
develop strategies to address the impacts of environmental toxicants and toxins and protect ecosystems, their delivery of critical services, and aquatic and human community health.

communicate findings and data to stakeholders and policy makers to ensure effective strategies are implemented.
