    MSc Programs in Environmental Biology

    A Master of Science (MSc) program is often pursued by students after finishing a four-year college degree. It is intended for those who wish to deepen their knowledge of science in a certain field and to become qualified for advanced levels of employment within it.

    What is an MSc in Environmental Biology? It is a post-graduate degree in which students learn about the natural history of and interactions among living things that make up the earth’s environment. They also learn the ways abiotic factors such as soil, water, and air create an ecosystem, and about threats to biodiversity from global warming, development, and pollution.

    A Master in Environmental Biology is an interdisciplinary degree, meaning it combines courses from more than just the field of biology. Students graduate with a holistic appreciation of natural sciences and an understanding of how biological processes work together. They are able to apply their scientific knowledge to real-world problem solving as it applies to conservation and management of resources.

    The cost of tuition varies substantially from institution to institution. Variables affecting total cost include length of program, price per credit hour, and additional fees for laboratory equipment or field trips. Always check with a school that interests you to determine if the price fits your educational budget.
