Become a dynamic leader in the field of Environmental Geology

The Department of Earth Science & Environmental Change offers an online graduate-level certificate and Master's degree in Environmental Geology. The master's degree and certificate are designed to meet the existing high demand for advanced geology expertise to solve industry problems. The graduate-level certificate is a 12-credit program and provides an ideal bridge into the 32-credit hour online master's degree should students desire to continue on for an advanced graduate degree. Both programs are fully online, which precludes the need for an extended absence from a current job and/or familial responsibilities, and maximizes learning flexibility.
