The Master of Science in Environmental Sciences (MSES) degree at the University of Colorado at Denver (UCD) is designed to provide students with the problem-solving methods needed to understand and resolve environmental problems. This includes training in engineering, natural/physical sciences, and socioeconomic analysis. The goals of the program are to enhance the interdisciplinary communication and analytical skills of the student, and provide opportunities for more intensive training within a particular subject area. Students receive instruction in the physical and biological dynamics of various ecosystems, environmental engineering, and socioeconomic issues associated with environmental analysis.

The M.S. in Environmental Sciences is a 38-hour program consisting of a minimum of 32 hours of course work, and a 3 or 6 hour research project. The MSES degree is offered through the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences with the cooperation of the College of Engineering and Applied Science. In addition, some courses offered by the New College of Architecture and Planning and the Graduate School of Public Affairs are relevant and applicable to the program.

Many of the students in the MSES program are environmental professionals, employed full-time, who are interested in broadening the knowledge base obtained in their undergraduate programs. Job opportunities for graduates of this program may be found in government agencies (EPA, Colorado Department of Health, USGS, for example), industry, and environmental and engineering consulting firms.
