Jointly offered by the College of Agriculture, Health, and Natural Resources and the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
The Master of Energy and Environmental Management (MEEM) program offers a Master of Science (M.S.) degree through an interdisciplinary partnership involving the Department of Natural Resources and the Environment, Department of Geography, School of Law, and Center for Environmental Sciences and Engineering. The MEEM is designed for college graduates looking for advanced study in energy and environmental management fields, and working professionals looking to enhance their skills and knowledge in science, management, and policy.
Master of Science Requirements
The MEEM requires 27 credits of coursework and three credits of internship or practicum, for a total of 30 credits. The MEEM generally takes 18 to 24 months to complete and conforms to the Graduate School requirements for a Plan B Non-thesis Master’s Degree.
