Environmental Studies program at Ohio University seeks graduate student applications The MSES program at Ohio University is multidisciplinary and designed for exceptional students that recognize the complexity of environmental issues and aim to conduct research that is cross-cutting and has direct application to real world problems. The program specifically seeks students that want to elevate their current knowledge of environmental issues by gaining insight from the broad disciplines essential to understanding and applying solutions to the most pressing problems of our time: climate change, energy production systems, food systems, land use, and water use. The program is led by internationally recognized faculty in the fields of ecology, energy biosciences, environmental engineering, watershed management, climate policy, and environmental peace-building. The curriculum reflects these themes and merges the perspectives of ecology, policy, and engineering to investigate the causes of environmental degradation and explore more sustainable approaches to economic development locally, nationally, and globally.
