BS Environmental Studies and MS Information Science

The dual degree in environmental informatics is a collaboration between Environment and Ecology and the School of Information and Library Sciences. It is approached through the bachelor s of science degree with a major in environmental science, and students then complete a master s in information sciences. It offers students the opportunity to gain thorough knowledge of environmental science and the skills and preparation for managing data in a variety of applications. This degree is particularly compelling in an age where data management and smart grid technology industries depend on a knowledgeable workforce to meet their needs. For the environmental informatics program, students must complete the undergraduate requirements for the B.S. degree in environmental sciences and the graduate requirements for the M.S.I.S. degree in information sciences as separate degrees.
