Master of Science in Environmental Science and Policy

This program is jointly offered by two Northeastern colleges: The College of Science and the College of Social Sciences and Humanities’ School of Public Policy and Urban Affairs. Its interdisciplinary nature aims to nurture environmental problem-solving expertise to the next generation of environmental professionals.

If you’d like to be one of them, expect to broaden your horizons in the environmental sciences (conservation biology, climate change, fisheries science, ecosystem function, biodiversity, restoration ecology) with the social sciences (policy, economics, sociology, political science, and development) and humanities (environmental history, philosophy, and ethics).

This substantive breadth in knowledge and skills will help you make effective decisions needed to evaluate policy debates related to promoting environmental sustainability. A range of course delivery options is also available for added flexibility and customization.
