Additional background courses (undergraduate or graduate) may be required as
prerequisites for some of the graduate courses. Credits earned for the Graduate
Certificate in Environmental Studies may be applied to the Master of Science degree
to the extent allowed by the School of Graduate Studies (normally nine semester hours).
Students in the certificate program who intend to pursue the Master’s degree must
apply to the Master’s program before completion of nine (9) semester hours of graduate
coursework. The following undergraduate courses will not qualify for the Master’s degree, but
are suggested for career preparation: AHLTH 4831 Industrial Hygiene 3 s.h. BIOL 4805 Ichthyology 3 s.h. CEEGR 4837 Environmental Engineering Design 3 s.h. CHEM 3739 Physical Chemistry 1 4 s.h.
