ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
COMBINED B.S./M.S. PROGRAM
The combined 4-year B.S./5-year M.S. degree program offers two
options: Environmental Chemistry and Marine Sciences. The curriculum
for the two options is administered under the auspices of the undergraduate
Environmental Science and the graduate Marine-Estuarine-Environmental
Science (MEES) programs. The student receives the B.S. and M.S.
degrees after completing all the requirements for the two programs.
A student wishing to pursue the 5-year M.S. program must make a
formal application in the first semester of the Junior year. Students
must take the GRE (General Test) during their junior year.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES
(ENVIRONMENTAL CHEMISTRY OPTION)
COMBINED B.S./M.S. PROGRAM
This program is designed to enable students to attain both the
B.S. degree and M.S. degree in five years. The curriculum for this
program is more advanced and students become involved in directed
research earlier than in the traditional B.S. degree. The curricula
for the two degrees is administered under the auspices of the undergraduate
Environmental Science and the graduate Marine-Estuarine-Environmental-Science
(MEES) programs.
The Environmental Chemistry Option will provide students with training
in such areas as environmental contamination and toxicology, air
and water pollution, waste treatment and disposal and energy resources.
Students in the first two years of this program take courses to
satisfy the General Education requirements along with courses in
Biology, Chemistry, Math. & Computer Sciences and Physics. The
Junior year provides training in topics specific to the field and
prepares students who seek to pursue the M.S. program with prerequisites
for the graduate level courses.
During the fourth year, additional courses providing advanced training
in pollution and energy are offered. Those students choosing the
B.S. program will graduate at the end of the fourth year with the
requisite 122 credits. The 12-month period (5th year) subsequent
to satisfying requirements for the B.S. degree will be spent completing
the M.S.requirements including research work during the summer.
For additional information contact Chairman, Department of Natural
Sciences or Director, B.S./M.S. Program in Environmental
Chemistry.

COMBINED B.S./M.S.MARINE SCIENCE OPTION
This program is designed to enable students to attain both the
B.S. degree and M.S. degree in five years. Students who successfully
complete this program receive a B.S. degree in Environmental Science
(Marine Science Track) and an M.S. degree in Marine-Estuarine-Environmental-Science
(MEES).
This program is offered in conjunction with the University of Maryland
Center for Estuarine and Environmental Studies (CEES). Students
are able to attain these degrees in five years by substituting MEES
graduate courses for free electives, and by taking courses and conducting
research during summers. Only nine credit hours are allowed to overlap
and be credited towards both the BS and MS degrees.
Students wishing to pursue the M.S. option must formally apply
to the MEES program in the first semester of their junior year.
If accepted, students may attend a summer-in-residence program at
Horn Point Environmental Laboratories in the summer following their
junior year.
During this time, students will begin directed research and take
a graduate level course. In their senior year students will complete
their B.S. degree requirements by taking upper level undergraduate
courses and also take graduate level courses towards their M.S.
degree. Students have the option of being in residence at UMES or
a participating CEES campus during their senior and fifth years.
Students in this program may select any of the specialization areas
offered in the MEES program. To receive the M.S. degree students
must satisfy degree requirements which include a total of 30 course
credits: course work (24 credits) and Master Thesis research (6
credits).
