What will I learn?

The accelerated B.S. and M.Envs. program allows qualified students to earn both the B.S. in Environmental Studies and the Master of Environmental Studies in a minimum of five years by completing approved graduate courses during the senior year of their undergraduate program. Students in the program may count up to 12 hours of graduate courses toward both the B.S. and M.Envs. degrees. Thus, the two degrees may be earned with a minimum of 141 credits rather than the 153 credits necessary if the two degrees are pursued separately.

Entry requirements

For international students

Interested undergraduate students should consult with the master's program director (See contact information on the graduate program page.) as early as possible, but no later than the fall semester of their junior year, to receive specific information about the accelerated program and determine academic eligibility.

Requests for entrance to the accelerated program in environmental studies must include the three following items, each of which must be completed or submitted by the last day of scheduled classes (and before the final exam period begins) for the fall semester of the junior year:

  1. Schedule and complete an interview with the graduate program director.
  2. Prepare and submit a personal statement to the graduate program director that explains why the applicant wishes to join the environmental studies masters program.
  3. Prepare and submit an updated CV to the graduate program director.
