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.
