programs at Evergreen State University, Ohio University, Oberlin College, Middlebury College, the College of Charleston, and the University of Colorado at Boulder. The MES program being proposed at KSU is modeled after these programs and several others. However, as mentioned in the required resources section of this proposal, the KSU program is specifically designed to utilize the expertise of the existing personnel who make up the core faculty group.
No other college or university in Kentucky is offering a masters degree in environmental studies at this time. However, as the following table indicates, a number of Kentucky institutions do have some form of environmental focus in their curriculum.
