Antioch University New England in Keene, New Hampshire introduces two new graduate study programs in Environmental Studies: A new MS in *Sustainable Development and Climate Change* in the Environmental Studies Department is now being offered at Antioch University New England. This 42 credit program concentration integrates courses in environmental science, social science, and organizational leadership. Graduates are prepared for a variety of environmental careers in the public and private sector including environmental regulation, environmental consulting, local and regional planning, and environmental non-profit leadership. For additional information: http://www.antiochne.edu/es/sdcc/default.cfm?nav=1 Antioch University New England also announces a new *Resource Management & Conservation *MS degree program offered in a weekend delivery model. This new MS program, which was started in the late 1970’s, was re-designed for the professional who seeks an effective leadership role in 21st century environmental management. RMC program’s unique design of relevant theory and real-world application enables graduate students to develop the skills they need to stay ahead of the curve in managing complex environmental projects and planning for climate change. The 30 credit MS degree can be completed in 16 months through Friday afternoon and weekend courses that meet about once a month, starting in fall 2010. Students in this program have the opportunity to interact with students and faculty of the Environmental Studies Department through a monthly Environmental Studies Colloquium, and have some courses with students in other Environmental Studies programs within the department.

These two new programs compliment the Environmental Studies Department at Antioch University New England, one of the oldest Environmental Studies Departments in the U.S. We offer concentrations at the Master’s level in Environmental Education, Conservation Biology, Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability, Science Teacher Certification, and a Self-designed plan of study. We also offer a low-residency PhD program in Environmental Studies which is an interdisciplinary course of study for students working full or part time, as well as for students newly graduated with their Master’s degree. This PhD is unique in its intentional focus on interdisciplinary studies – see our website for more details on what kinds of research our current students and faculty are doing and what our graduates are doing in the world http://www.antiochne.edu/es/phd/ .
