The curriculum for the M.A. in Environmental Studies allows students to gain an understanding of ways to balance social and economic needs with environmental realities, to learn how to use resources imaginatively for sustainable development, and to become aware of the role of values in issue formulation and policy making. Objectives are to enable students to:

  • develop basic literacy in the natural and social sciences and the humanities as they contribute to an understanding of environmental affairs;
  • critically analyze environmental problems
  • identify, research, and evaluate environmental problems.
