Studies center on climate change reduction and adaptation, pollution remediation, environmental management and creation of sustainable communities. Programs provide concentrations in research, handling of waste, health considerations and mitigation of contamination. Some degree plans emphasize the environmental consequences of business and governmental decisions, and others allow specialization in areas such as coastal and marine management.

Benefits of environmental studies are global in scale. Graduates are equipped to address the growing need for a more sustainable approach to energy requirements, waste management and the balance of ecosystems.

Graduates may lead projects to rehabilitate corrupted ecosystems and restore productivity in degraded soil. Contamination clean-up efforts and management of waste require team members knowledgeable in environmental issues.

Announcing a New Master Program in Migration Climate Change & Environment, opening in Fall 2022. Migration and climate change are two of the most defining issues of our time. While people have always moved to adapt to a changing environment, our awareness and understanding of the environmental drivers of migration have grown significantly over the past few decades. The adverse impacts of climate change are increasingly leading to human mobility worldwide, with significant implications for policy-makers in government, NGO and humanitarian organizations, and even for international companies. The program will benefit from a wide network of international partners, in particular, United Nations agencies, non-governmental organizations, diplomatic missions, and a wide array of academic and research partners that work on human mobility and environmental issues. -
