To be considered for the MENV program, students must have a four-year bachelor’s degree from an accredited U.S. institution or the international equivalent. We recommend a minimum of one year of professional experience or applicable training prior to applying. The MENV program selects students who we believe will achieve academic and professional success while adding value to the graduate community. The MENV selects the most talented and diverse candidates through a holistic review of the application materials. Decisions are based on academic and professional backgrounds, as well as individuals' potential to contribute both inside and outside of the classroom. As a cohort-based program, the MENV program requires that students successfully enroll in and complete a minimum of two courses per semester. As per the University of Colorado Boulder's Graduate School policy, all master's degrees must be completed within four years.
The best way to learn more about the Masters of the Environment (MENV) Graduate Program and our culture and community is to attend an Information Session. We are pleased to announce that beginning in August 2023, we will be offering in-person information sessions on the CU Boulder Campus! We will also host our 2023 Open House for prospective students on Friday, October 20, 2023. In addition, we will hold several additional Virtual Information Sessions throughout the fall.
