Environmental and Sustainability Studies (MS)
College of Charleston
Description
The Environmental and Sustainability Studies Program at the College is designed to provide students with an appreciation of the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problems through graduate level studies of both policy and science. This interdisciplinary focus enables faculty and students to address a wide variety of the resource, development and planning pressures that currently face our local and global communities. Through core and elective course curriculum, faculty expertise and specialization development (the clustering of courses in areas such as coastal and wetlands management, environmental planning and environmental hazards), the program provides training that addresses each of these challenges. Six departments (Biology, Geology and Environmental Geosciences, Mathematics, Physics and Astronomy, Political Science and Economics) contribute core and elective coursework and faculty time to the program.
