PSM-ENIN - Professional Science, Environmental Informatics Concentration, P.S.M.

Population growth, pollution, and limited natural resources, result in increasingly topical environmental issues. The Professional Science Master's with a concentration in Environmental Informatics degree program effectively prepares you for a career dedicated to sustaining Earth's resources for future generations.

Environmental Informatics combines existing courses in the Colleges of Business, Arts and Sciences, Agricultural and Human Sciences, and Engineering to effectively produce a new and essential degree. Currently, the business core courses are offered online and on campus through TTU's MBA program.

Environmental Informatics will also use an interdisciplinary approach of course delivery by incorporating faculty from the Colleges of Business, Arts and Sciences, and Engineering.

There are increasing numbers of career opportunities for professionals with this degree. Environmental scientists and technicians are required to meet increasing demands placed on companies as worldwide awareness of environmentalism increases. Statistics show many professionals in this field will soon be retiring, leaving space for the next generation of environmentalists.

The program is designed for graduates of approved natural resources undergraduate programs (e.g., environmental biology, environmental chemistry, environmental engineering, water resources engineering, geology, environmental agriculture, environmental management, etc.).

The Professional Science Master’s degree in Environmental Informatics is a 33 hour degree program. The degree requirements include:

• Required Business and Statistics Courses: 9 hours

• Concentration Course Requirements: 18 hours
