California State University Monterey Bay offers a M.S. degree in Coastal and Watershed Science and Policy (CWSP). The M.S. in CWSP is an innovative, interdisciplinary program offering training in science and technology in the context of environmental policy. There are two degree options: Professional Science Masters (PSM) and Thesis. Within their chosen option, students elect an emphasis in marine science or watershed science. Advanced technology training is complemented by applied science and policy training. Within the PSM option, skills learned in the classroom are enhanced through professional internships with regional partners. The PSM option within CWSP gives students unique technical skill sets that will distinguish them as they enter the workforce and satisfies a demand for highly skilled professionals within technology and applied science-based companies, governmental agencies, and non-profit organizations. The Thesis Option provides students with an opportunity to complete an independent scientific research project within the context of an environmental issue and culminates in a publishable thesis.
Applications for Fall 2012 are due on February 15. Please visit http://sep.csumb.edu/cwsp/ for more details and application information, or call 831- 582-4739.
