Catalog Description:
Master of Science with Major in
Environmental Sciences
This is an interdisciplinary program designed to provide Students with
specialized training in Environmental Sciences. All the departments in
the Charles E. Schmidt College of Science and the Dorothy F. Schmidt
College of Arts and Letters participate in the program, as do several
other colleges at Florida Atlantic University.
Students are required to take most of the coursework spread across the
six core subject areas listed below. The exact courses taken are to be
determined by students and their advisory committees.
Thesis Option
A student curriculum consists of
following four categories:
a minimum of 36 credits taken in the
Core Subject Areas: 22-28 credits from the core subject areas and
electives with at least one course from four different core subject
areas.
Electives: No more than 9 credits of electives taken outside the core
areas will be counted towards the degree, and no more than 6 credits may
be 4000 level courses. No more than three credits of Directed
Independent Study may be counted towards this degree.
Thesis: 6-12credits;
Colloquium 2 credits or more;
Non-Thesis Option
A student curriculum consists of a minimum of 36 credits taken in the
following three categories:
Core Subject Areas:34 credits from the core subject areas and electives
with at least one course from four different core subject areas.
Electives and Directed Independent Studies: No more than 9 credits of
electives taken outside the core areas will be counted towards the
degree, only 6 credits may be 4000 level courses. No more than three
credits of Directed Independent Study may be counted towards this
degree.
Colloquium 2 credits or more.
