The Board of Regents is asked to approve a Master of Environmental Studies degree proposed by the College of Mathematics, Science, Technology, and Health and the Division of Mathematics and Sciences.
The program will be the only one of its kind in the Commonwealth and the first interdisciplinary graduate program at KSU. The degree will be a collaborative effort between the Division of Mathematics and Sciences, the Land Grant Program, the Whitney Young School of Honors and Liberal Studies, and the Kentucky Environmental and Public Protection Cabinet. Currently, KSU has the necessary personnel with appropriate educational backgrounds and expertise to deliver the proposed curriculum.
The degree program will require students to earn 36 credit hours for completion. The proposal has been approved by the Faculty Senate, the Interim Provost/Vice President for Academic Affairs, and the President.
