Program Description

The program in Environmental Science and Management is diverse and dynamic, focusing on challenges in both the outdoor and indoor environment. The Department of Environmental Science & Engineering draws upon established relationships with local industries and environmental agencies making Gannon University a regional leader in environmental quality, environmental health, and environmental management.

Two options are offered within the M.S. program: 1.) Environmental Health & Safety and 2.) Environmental Management.  Graduates of the Environmental Health & Safety option have the ability to develop and implement technologies to improve and protect both environmental and human health.  Many graduates are employed in areas of environmental compliance in industry, consulting firms or the government.  Students whose career plans are management and administrative in nature may pursue the Environmental Management option.  This option combines environmental science courses with business courses in order to prepare students for environmental leadership roles.

Admission Requirements

Students should have a Bachelor's degree in science or engineering from an accredited college or university, with courses in math (calculus preferred), biology (preferably including ecology and microbiology), chemistry, physics, and earth sciences.  If an applicant's undergraduate science and math preparation are not adequate, appropriate undergraduate courses may be required in addition to the graduate program.  If the applicant's undergraduate grade point average is less than 3.0 (4 point scale), the Graduate Record Exam (GRE) is required as part of the application package.
