Ohio University’s Master of Science in Environmental Studies curriculum combines graduate coursework with solid research. Created in 1970, the program meets the needs of students looking for a broader academic experience than a traditional course of study can provide. The program gives students the flexibility to pursue coursework and research spanning several disciplines. Our students have backgrounds ranging from business, humanities, and the social sciences to the physical and biological sciences and engineering. Interdisciplinary Our program emphasizes the interdisciplinary nature of environmental issues, giving students a holistic view of the challenges Earth faces. In 1995, to expand our interdisciplinary activities in applied and basic research and public policy, we joined with the Institute for Local Government Administration and Rural Development, which is part of the Voinovich School for Leadership and Public Affairs.
