The Environmental Science & Biology Graduate Program at The College at Brockport - State University of New York is currently accepting applications for Fall 2014 and Spring 2015.
The purpose of the ES Graduate Program is to develop scientists who will be able to analyze and understand environmental systems, predict environmental change, and participate in the management of the environment. Each student in the Graduate Program conducts research and completes a thesis, develops depth in a specific academic area through the completion of focused course work, and develops essentials skills in statistics, geographical information systems, science writing and public speaking. Students work with major professors in the areas of Terrestrial Ecology, Aquatic Ecology, Environmental Chemistry, or Earth Sciences. The College at Brockport is situated near Rochester, NY just south of Lake Ontario. Its proximity to the Great Lakes, Finger Lakes National Forest, and Iroquois National Wildlife Refuge provide ample opportunity for projects investigating many aspects of environmental change, including but not limited to exotic invasive species and pollution and water quality research. Upon completing their MS graduate degrees students are prepared to conduct research in national research laboratories, field stations, Ph. D. programs in universities, as well as institutes and corporations in the private sector. Graduates find careers in federal, state, and local government agencies that are charged with managing natural resources and employment in the private sector with productive careers in industry and consulting firms. Teaching assistantships or other graduate support may be available for highly qualified applicants. The program has rolling admission, but apply by April 15, 2014 for consideration for awards for Fall 2014. For more information visit our website: http://www.brockport.edu/envsci/index.html
