Master of Science [M.S] [Earth System Science & Policy] From University of North Dakota

The MS program is a thematic one, emphasizing practical experience, student-centered learning, and integration of knowledge across traditional disciplinary boundaries, and active dialogue both in and outside the classroom.

The Master of Science is designed to accommodate a large range of research interests all of which must be multi-disciplinary. It is intended for those primarily interested in the science of the Earth's systems, as well as how that science can be integrated into programs of action that lead to sustainability. Those who are highly focused in a particular discipline are encouraged to seek graduate opportunities in that discipline. Requirements for an MS degree will culminate in submission and defense of a thesis.
