The M.S. in Applied Marine & Watershed Science offers training in science and technology in the context of environmental policy. There are two M.S. degree options: Professional Science Master's (PSM) and thesis. Within their chosen option, students elect an emphasis in marine or watershed science. Advanced technology training is complemented by applied science and policy training.
Within the PSM option, students deepen the skills they learn in the classroom through professional internships. The PSM option gives students unique technical skill sets that will distinguish them as they enter the workforce and satisfies a demand for highly skilled professionals within technology and applied science-based companies, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations.
