The Master of Science in Environmental Sciences through the Laney Graduate School at Emory University integrates ecological and earth sciences with policy and social sciences in a two-year program emphasizing quantitative research and practice. Benefiting from a growing program with ready access to faculty, students will participate in interdisciplinary research aimed at understanding and resolving complex environmental issues facing humanity in the 21st century. With a curriculum designed to develop quantitative skills and practice, students will have the opportunity to work closely with faculty to develop a research focus and thesis. Graduates will gain the expertise needed to relate scientific findings to policy decisions and are prepared post-graduation for work across an array of agencies (governmental, inter-governmental) and in areas of natural resource management, biodiversity and species conservation, and environmental management and conservation. Research disciplines of faculty include: · Ecology and Conservation · Disease Ecology and Global Health · Environmental Policy · Resource Management · Sustainability and Development · Earth and Atmospheric Science · Urban Environment · Geography and Spatial Sciences Applications will be accepted through May 2015 for enrollment in fall 2015.
