Few universities throughout the New York metropolitan region -- or the nation -- offer the focused and applied professional training that you will find in the Master of Science in Environmental Science (MSES) graduate program at Pace University. Students completing this program will be prepared to address local and global environmental problems facing our planet using cutting-edge technology and scientific research. In addition, many of our graduates go on to further study, such as PhD programs in ecology. Research is an integral part of the program. Students work hand-in-hand with faculty members to conduct field or lab research. Current and past students have done research within our region, as well as globally, exploring everything from mussels in the Hudson River to mammals in India. The experiential learning component of the curriculum is a thesis project that complements a student's interest. The Program Director connects each student with a faculty member who specializes in the student's area of interest.
