在这里学什么？

DePaul’s innovative MS program in Environmental Science provides a theoretically-grounded and professionally-oriented preparation for careers in environmental science. The degree will prepare students for a variety of environmental professions, including research careers. We envision that graduates will focus especially on careers in land management, including restoration ecology, species and landscape conservation, biodiversity management, green infrastructure management, urban ecology and a variety of ecological consultancy services.

Consistent with DePaul University’s Departmental of Environmental Science and Studies expertise in urban biodiversity and associated management techniques, foundational courses introduce a range of novel ideas and methods that are employed in metropolitan conservation programs. Students are required to take advanced-level classes in data analysis and sustainability science. Through our partnerships with organizations throughout the region, students will witness how successful conservation is instituted in practice. Although there is an urban focus to the program, the balanced theoretical and hands-on emphasis of this degree will ensure that students can be creative problem solvers in a wide variety of ecological situations from wilder areas to the city core.

Students can chose between a professional track and a thesis track depending upon the career objectives. A suite of upper-level electives and allied field courses will ensure that students in the program are prepared for the next stages in their environmental careers.

Learning Outcomes

Students will be able to:

• Develop an interdisciplinary base in environmental science with breadth in applied ecology, physical science, and natural resource management.
• Synthesize data, perspectives, and theories from the natural and social sciences to inform an integrated understanding of environmental challenges.
• Evaluate possible solutions to environmental problems by engaging in dialog across stakeholder groups (e.g. communities, government, nonprofits, private sector, scientists) and collaboratively achieve ethical compromise.
• Create oral and written products to communicate scientific findings and/or management outcomes to a wide audience, especially at the interface of science, policy, and the public.

All courses for this program are offered on the Lincoln Park Campus, and the core classes are offered in the evening. The program can be completed in two years.
