Professional Science Master’s - Ecosystem Science and Sustainability
About Professional Science Master’s - Ecosystem Science and Sustainability
The Professional Science Master’s (PSM) in Ecosystem Science & Sustainability (PSM) is an excellent course of study for students eager to work in environmental sustainability right away or for working professionals looking to transition quickly or advance their careers.
- The PSM is coursework-focused – the degree does not require a thesis.
- Through coursework, students gain expertise in sustainable management solutions through policy analysis, applied methods, and skills-based learning.
- Students choose from three different degree specializations: carbon management, watershed science, or sustainable food systems.
- Students are required to participate in an intensive 4-credit, 400-hour internship, where they gain hands-on knowledge in their chosen field, implement the skills learned within the classroom, and begin to establish a professional network. The program has successfully placed many students in paid internships focused on their career objectives.
