MS in Environmental Science & Policy and Graduate Assistantships

Plymouth State University (PSU) in Plymouth, NH invites applications for 
the MS in Environmental Science and Policy (ESP). The program focuses in 
areas related to watershed systems - hydrology, lake/stream 
biogeochemistry, conservation ecology, land use planning, climatology, etc. 
Our curriculum emphasizes the relationships between science and policy, 
ecosystem resilience, and science communication. Students in the program 
collaborate with interdisciplinary teams of faculty, students, and 
scientists from other academic, governmental, and NGOs including Hubbard 
Brook Experimental Forest, White Mountain National Forest, NH Department of 
Environmental Services, NH Department of Fish and Game, Appalachian 
Mountain Club, and numerous lake associations.

Students accepted to PSU’s MS in ESP may be eligible for either graduate 
research assistantships (GRA) or teaching assistantships (GTA). RAs work on 
specific faculty research projects as they become available. TAs assist 
with undergraduate courses in ESP - preparing and teaching labs, organizing 
field expeditions, teaching a unit/module, and assisting with course 
management. A valid driver’s license is required for some positions. 

Assistantships are available only to full-time students enrolled in the MS 
in ESP program. Submit applications to PSU’s  Graduate Admissions. For more 
information about the MS in ESP, please contact the Program Coordinator, 
Dr. June Hammond Rowan, [email protected].
