Emory University has a new Master of Science in Environmental Sciences (ENVS) program, which integrates ecological, earth, policy and social sciences in a two-year program emphasizing quantitative research and practice.
Our graduate students work closely with faculty to develop a research focus and thesis, giving them an opportunity to learn and apply quantitative research skills. Graduates will gain the expertise needed to relate scientific findings to policy decisions and are prepared 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. Our application for the fall 2016 cohort is now available. Information about the application and its requirements is available through our website at http://envs.emory.edu/home/graduate/MS.html TUITION ASSISTANCE We currently offer tuition scholarships, covering up to 75% of tuition. Applicants will be evaluated and notified about their tuition assistance award at the time of acceptance. In addition, we have research and teaching assistant positions available within the department. DEPARTMENTAL CONTACTS As a next step, it is important for you to identify a faculty member with whom you might be interested in continuing your research with and reach out to that faculty member with any questions. If you are unsure about which faculty member might be a good fit, please contact our Director of Graduate Studies, Professor Uriel Kitron at ukit...@emory.edu. Within your Statement of Purpose for the Application, you will need to explain how your research interests match with one or two of our departmental faculty. Feel free to contact our graduate program coordinator, Leah Thomas (leah.tho...@emory.edu) with any questions.
