The UA Department of Environmental Science, ENVS, offers graduate work leading to the M.S degree in Soil, Water and Environmental Science. Two tracks are offered, "Environmental Science" or "Soil and Water Science".
The department also offers a dual degree option: the Master of Science in Soil, Water and Environmental Science and a Master of Arts in Journalism. Graduates with the dual MS/MA degrees would be able to make important contributions not only to discussions within news organizations about the ways in which information about science should be gathered and evaluated, but also discussions in the fields of science and journalism about the ways in which this information influences public perceptions and public policy, and therefore the effects of science on society.
The ENVS department strongly supports attendance at professional meetings. Student presentations at meetings and student publications are likewise encouraged. Numerous workshops on topics ranging from the Internet to scientific writing are regularly available.
In addition to graduate student-sponsored activities, various departmental events, such as departmental picnics and weekly seminars, provide students with opportunities to meet and socialize with colleagues.
With a M.S. in Soil, Water and Environmental Science students will be prepared for careers in business and industry, governmental agencies, educational institutions, and private consulting firms.
