Introduction

The graduate program leading to an M.S. or a Ph.D. in Environmental and Conservation Sciences (ECS) integrates multiple disciplines and perspectives. The program offers three tracks:

  1. The Environmental Science track focuses on abiotic environmental issues, such as water, air, and land pollution.
  2. The Conservation Biology track focuses on biotic issues, such as the preservation of biodiversity and ecosystem function.
  3. The Environmental Social Sciences track emphasizes environmental economics and policy.

The interdisciplinary nature of this program is reflected by the participation of faculty from across the campus, including the Colleges of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; Arts, Humanities, and Social Sciences; Engineering; and Science and Mathematics.
