Master of Science - Environmental Science and Policy - Policy

Today's environmental challenges require professionals who understand the scientific foundations of problems and can navigate the policy making process. Pace's program immerses students in both worlds and teaches them how to facilitate the solutions. The MS in Environmental Science and Policy is an integrated curriculum of science, policy and law, communication skills, and professional advocacy that will make students an effective agent of change in the public, private, or non-profit sectors.

Students work alongside faculty members to expand the knowledge boundaries of the environmental realm and design improved policies. They are trained how to apply analytical techniques to unexplored questions through a research thesis or capstone project.

The New York metropolitan area has deep roots in environmental protection and Pace's faculty are well-connected to professionals in the region, which ensures that students will gain meaningful experiences through externships, internships, and research assistant opportunities.

Pace University offers ample physical resources for success, including state-of-the-art lab facilities and critical digital assets. Their students have worked on regional and global research questions, from improving the protection of eels in the Hudson River to mammals in India.
