Master of Science in Environmental Studies

The Master of Science in Environmental Studies at Kentucky State University focuses on understanding the processes and principles of the environment so students can address ecological issues. The program emphasizes research on environmental problems and the basic science underlying those problems, including environmental degradation and resource depletion.

The program is designed to use integrated and interdisciplinary approaches to deal with environmental challenges. It connects traditional academic disciplines and colleges to provide graduate education and research on environmental issues connected to economic and political upheaval, and to changes in Kentucky’s farming and mining-based economy, including energy use and alternative energy sources.
