The Master of Environmental Management and Master
of Forestry programs train environmental professionals
to analyze and interpret scientific information to
solve environmental problems and manage natural resources.
Graduates of these programs are expected to understand
the scientific bases of environmental problems as well
as the social, political, and economic factors that
determine effective policy solutions. It is the policy
of the Enrollment Services Office to seek students
who care passionately about the environment, who have
the preparation to succeed in studying the natural
and social scientific and legal aspects of environmental
issues, and who seek leadership roles as environmental
professionals and stewards. Application procedures
solicit materials used to determine a prospective student's
qualifications for study in these areas. The materials
required are listed below and through the links indicated.

Management and the Master

either an electronic or paper application. All correspondence
