An intensive interdisciplinary masters program in environmental studies that involves students in a consideration of social, philosophical, political, and educational perspectives on the environment. The 37-point degree requires the completion of three core courses, electives, an internship, and a ecology/science requirement.

The electives allow students to avail themselves of the extensive resources of the University, including its computer facilities, and tailor their program to fit their particular interests in the environment, e.g., environmental education, environmental philosophy, environmental politics, environmental art, environmental policy studies, or environmental science. The ECE program is the oldest graduate program in environmental studies in the U.S. with a foundation in history, philosophy and the social sciences.
