Master of Science in Environmental Management
The Master of Science (MS) in environmental management is designed to provide the
skills, knowledge, and competencies that students will need to function effectively in
multiple environmental management settings. The courses in the program are interrelated
and provide a solid conceptual and applied foundation.
Overview
In each segment of the degree program, theory and concepts are presented so the student
may develop and evaluate administrative skills. In each course, faculty members
combine theoretical concepts with the practical application of usable skills. This degree
program requires 36–39 credits and consists of seven core courses, four elective courses,
and an end-of-program option. A specialty track in energy resources management and
policy and a concentration in environmental business are available.
Program Requirements
In addition to the general requirements (listed on p. 11), students in this program
must have earned their bachelor’s degree in social science, physical science, biological science,
or engineering, with a minimum of 3 credits each in chemistry and biology; and
have a minimum of one year of experience or other evidence of expertise in the environmental
field.
Provisional Status
Applicants who have not completed 6 credits of combined coursework in chemistry
and biology may be admitted to provisional status while completing this requirement.
They will be allowed to register for a maximum of two courses chosen from the following
list while completing the requirement in chemistry and biology: ENVM 641,
ENVM 643, ENVM 646, or TMAN 640.
Decision-Pending Status
Students may enroll in one of the following graduate courses before UMUC has
received the official college transcript from the bachelor’s-degree-granting institution:
ENVM 646, ENVM 648, or TMAN 640. Students must receive an admission decision
before subsequent enrollments.
