      MA Programmes in Environmental Sustainability

      A student who wishes to obtain a doctoral degree or gain better employment in a particular career must first earn a Master of Arts (MA). An MA requires completion of a bachelor's degree, up to three years of master's-level courses and a written thesis or research paper.

      What is an MA in Environmental Sustainability? This master's degree prepares individuals to create solutions to environmental problems as well as promote sustainability by teaching businesses and nonprofits how to "go green." In most cases, students begin with core courses that teach them project management for environmental stability and environmental management. Many students choose to concentrate on one area, such as sustainable water resources or environmental quality and toxicology. Typically, an environmental studies master's student must complete a capstone project.

      Those who graduate with a Master of Arts in Environmental Sustainability often learn a wide range of technical skills to help them on the job, including remote sensing, spatial reasoning and geographic information systems. Graduates often gain better critical thinking, cross-cultural awareness and communication skills that prove beneficial in their personal lives as well as on the job.

      The amount that someone pays for a degree in environmental stability depends on several things. Some schools cost more to attend than others, and some countries have lower education costs than others. Grants, scholarships and the length of the program must also be considered.

      People who hold this type of degree are most likely to work in scientific or engineering fields. Technology, education, business and political science are all possible career paths as well. Universities, public school districts, nonprofit organizations and even large companies are looking for graduates who can help them create a better way of living. Some graduates pursue doctoral degrees, which they may then use to teach environmental sustainability at the college level.

      Courses in environmental sustainability are available around the world. Students may also find courses online if they do not live close to a college or university. Search for your program below and contact directly the admission office of the school of your choice by filling in the lead form.
