Are you interested environmental studies in your undergraduate pursuits, but don't know how this interest can continue in your graduate and post-graduate careers? Your environmental interests need not end when you receive your undergraduate degree, you have many options for continuing this interest in your post-undergraduate life!

There are many different options for a student interested in studying the environment at the Ph.D. or M.A./M.S. level. You can go to an interdisciplinary-based environmental studies program, an environmental policy/management program, or an environmental sciences program. In addition, you can pursue an interest in the environment through an environmental concentration in a conventional graduate program, such as an MBA , law, economics, public policy or ecology program.

These pages do not focus on the second type of program, but focus on the broader based programs such as environmental studies, environmental science, environmental management and environmental policy. The page is designed to help organize information so that you can consider your choices with as much information as possible. In addition to the links to the graduate program, we have classified each program based upon the broad categories on which they focus.  These lists are by no means complete and do include a certain degree of overlap, however they do give a broad view of what is available for graduate level study of the environment.
