The Master of Environmental Solutions (MEnv) is a novel program that focuses on interdisciplinary approaches to the development of innovative, environmental solutions. Combining an applied research approach with a public-facing communications emphasis, our program is a two-year experience engaging graduates of environmentally-themed undergraduate programs.

Core coursework includes an interdisciplinary approach to environmental stewardship and environmental solutions, using case studies and team-taught seminars to study and critically investigate holistic environmental research; an interdisciplinary environmental methods seminar; and a seminar from our unique Science Communications graduate program that develops skills in the communication and dissemination of research in accessible and exciting ways. In addition to an elective course of the student’s choosing, the degree culminates with a Thesis in which the student examines an environmental research problem. One outcome of the thesis includes its communication in a popular social medium accessible to a wide public audience.

The knowledge and skills gained in the MEnv program prepare students to appreciate, understand, study, and communicate environmental problems and solutions from perspectives across the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences. This degree prepares students for a number of careers in the environmental sector, or to continue into a relevant PhD program.
