Careers

Given the public’s increased interest in environmental issues – and the urgent need to solve the world’s most pressing challenges – earning an environmental sciences master’s degree will enable you to meet the rising demand for environmental scientists and specialists.

Increasing demand for scientists with business acumen

Earning your M.S. in Environmental Sciences will prepare you to enter the workforce as a research-minded professional who can use social information – such as demographics, environmental policy and economic systems – to develop conservation plans and make decisions for the good of the environment. You’ll also be equipped to engage in scientific research in such areas as biogeochemistry, ecology and water resources to improve the understanding of complex systems.

As a graduate of the PSM in Environmental Sciences program, you’ll be able to advance your career or begin a new one by gaining the requisite skills and knowledge to develop sustainable solutions that balance environmental, health, business and social interests as continued population growth puts more pressure on the environment.
