A Guide to Getting an Environmental Master's Degree

Your passion for environmental issues and care for the future of our global climate can be put to use with an environmental degree. As you consider your future career or the next phase of saving the planet, consider a master's degree committed to the environment. 

With several environmental degrees available, allow us to put two more on your list: a Master's in Environmental Policy and a Master’s in Climate Science.

• Required January term study in Oaxaca Mexico, with a focus on sustainable development.
