Online Environmental Science Master Degree Programs

Study how environmental science can improve the natural world.

A Masters degree in environmental science concentrates on the use of physical, biological and chemical sciences to solve environmental problems. In a traditional or online Masters degree program in environmental science, you’ll study how human society interacts with the natural world, the management of natural resources, and how the sciences can work to resolve ecological issues. Topics covered often include geoscience, statistical analysis, climatology, chemistry and biology, and physics.

An environmental science Masters degree qualifies students to work within federal government and state agencies, private companies, research organizations and nonprofits in analyzing the impact of human activity on the natural world—and designing and implementing solutions.
