Master of Professional Studies (MPS)
Environmental Management Concentration
The Master of Professional Studies (MPS) is an
interdisciplinary graduate degree program in social science and the
professions with a concentration in Environmental Management. The MPS explores
the application of research and experience to complex social, political
and environmental issues. The core curriculum focuses on the theoretical structure
and
methodology of social science disciplines and their application to
the professions.
The program is offered primarily to working adults who seek professional development on a part-time basis. Courses are offered in the evening and online.
Course of Study
This degree program consists of 30 credits, distributed among the three areas
listed below. Unless otherwise noted, each course is three credits. All degree requirements must be completed within
five (5) years from the semester date of admission as a matriculated
student. Students are advised to print and keep this student advisement worksheet (PDF) for reference.

The goal of the SPD Project Seminar is to teach students to understand and conduct graduate level research. The research paper may or may not result in a project, e.g., a model curriculum for an employee training program. Students will be guided in selecting a topic for their research paper. Methodology and resources will be reviewed as the student’s work is developed.
Prerequisite: Matriculation in MA/LS or MPS degree program; completion of 12 graduate credits within the program.
Note: S/U grading applies. No "I"/Incompletes will be given. If a "U"/Unsatisfactory grade is received, the course must be repeated. There are no transfer credits or substitutions permitted for CED 595/Project Seminar.
