Located between New York City and Boston in the shoreline city of West Haven, the University is a diverse and vibrant community of more than 7,500 students from across the globe. STEM Designation: This program is STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)-designated by the Department of Homeland Security. For more information, please see https://www.newhaven.edu/admissions/stem-designated-programs.php Program Outcomes- Express themselves clearly in writing within the discipline.- Express themselves clearly orally about topics within the discipline.- Use field methods to collect environmental data.- Use software programs common to the field of environmental science.- Critically evaluate journal articles from the literature.\r\nA minimum of 38 - 40 credits must be completed to earn the master of science in environmental science degree. The transfer of credit earned at other institutions is permitted subject to the graduate policy on transfer credit detailed elsewhere in this catalog.The program consists of five required core courses plus additional courses that may be taken in a specified area of concentration. Note that students who do not choose to concentrate in a particular area are required to follow a plan of study determined in consultation with the program coordinator. Required courses cover common areas in environmental science, while the electives and concentration options enable students to study in a particular area of interest or in subjects with direct application to their current professional situations.Students may elect to write a thesis as part of the program of study. Thesis preparation and submission must comply with the graduate policy on theses as well as specific departmental requirements. A thesis is recommended for students who wish to pursue doctoral training after graduation and for those with specific professional interests. For students who choose the thesis option, the selection of thesis courses is determined in consultation with the program coordinator and the thesis advisor, and includes ENVS 6698 - Thesis I (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=25\u0026amp;poid=6598\u0026amp;returnto=1675#tt273) and ENVS 6699 - Thesis II (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=25\u0026amp;poid=6598\u0026amp;returnto=1675#tt4460) in lieu of other courses in the program.Students should note that a number of courses in this program require weekend field trips, lab sessions, or acceptable alternatives. In addition, students should consult the program coordinator for advice on selection of appropriate courses and on assuring compliance with prerequisites.Required CoursesCIVL 6606 - Environmental Law and Legislation (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=27\u0026amp;poid=7650\u0026amp;returnto=1869#)CHEM 6601 - Environmental Chemistry (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=27\u0026amp;poid=7650\u0026amp;returnto=1869#)ENVS 6600 - Environmental Geoscience with Laboratory (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=27\u0026amp;poid=7650\u0026amp;returnto=1869#)ENVS 6601 - Ecological Applications in Environmental Science with Laboratory (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=27\u0026amp;poid=7650\u0026amp;returnto=1869#)ENVS 6690 - Research Project (see: https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php catoid=27\u0026amp;poid=7650\u0026amp;returnto=1869#) *\r\nNote(s):*Students select a topic in their area of concentration or in consultation with the program coordinator if no concentration is selected."},"ceterms:recognizedBy":["https://credentialengineregistry.org/resources/ce-b292f406-b76c-4b0d-8eb0-789488e8f80c"],"ceterms:subjectWebpage":"https://catalog.newhaven.edu/preview_program.php?catoid=27\u0026poid=7650\u0026returnto=1869","ceterms:credentialStatusType":{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/CredentialStatus","ceterms:targetNode":"credentialStat:Active","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Credential Status"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"Active"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Awards of the credential are ongoing."}},"ceterms:learningDeliveryType":[{"@type":"ceterms:CredentialAlignmentObject","ceterms:framework":"https://credreg.net/ctdl/terms/Delivery","ceterms:targetNode":"deliveryType:InPerson","ceterms:frameworkName":{"en-US":"Delivery Type"},"ceterms:targetNodeName":{"en-US":"In-Person Only"},"ceterms:targetNodeDescription":{"en-US":"Delivery is only face-to-face."}}]}
