Overview

Students in Hood's environmental biology master's program seek to understand and address pressing environmental issues. They envision finding ways to alter the course of climate change, the effects of invasive species and unsustainable uses of natural resources. They have a compelling desire to transform the future through leadership, education and example. For them, keeping the air, water, land and its resources clean and sustainable is more than a career path. It’s a passion. Hood’s Master of Science in Environmental Biology provides a strong foundation in ecology, pollution biology, resource management and biostatistics. The program, with its subsequent wide array of electives and specialized research opportunities, provides excellent preparation for environmental professionals and educators who seek to update their knowledge and skill sets, as well as for individuals interested in obtaining the essential background knowledge necessary to transition into an environmental career. The Master of Science in Biology program’s ultimate goal is to have graduates emerge with the expertise in environmental biology that will enable them to assume key positions in the public and private sectors charged with protecting this world's environmental future. Upon graduation from the environmental biology master’s program, Hood College's students will be able to: Problem solve and apply the scientific method to the field and literature of environmental biology. Collect, analyze, interpret and display scientific data using appropriate, current methods and software. Effectively communicate scientific information to diverse audiences through writing and oral presentation. Demonstrate a broad knowledge of environmental biology and ecology. The ENV program’s curriculum bridges the sciences to real-world socioeconomics and politics. Multiple research and non-research tracks permit students to customize a path that is best-suited for their career needs and goals. Learning key techniques, such as remote sensing, GIS, and field identification and sampling, opens new windows to understanding and protecting natural resources.
