Designed Around You

The Master of Science in Environmental Management program at University of Houston-Clear Lake is one of the most respected in the nation, with hundreds of our alumni holding leadership positions. We developed our program curriculum with input from industry, government, consulting and nonprofit organizations, ensuring that you receive the comprehensive environmental knowledge, skills and topical insight you need to excel in your career.

Our flexible curriculum meets the needs of both full-time students and practicing professionals who seek to enhance their professional qualifications or move into environmental work. As much as 80% or as little as 20% of the coursework for this degree may be taken online. Non-online courses typically meet between 7 to 10 p.m. one evening a week, and most are hybrid, wherein online material is substituted for some in-class sessions.

Providing Real-World Experience

This degree complements science or engineering degrees, though it can accommodate students from any undergraduate major. The degree provides an understanding of the business and legal frameworks in which environmental decisions are made, and addresses compliance, sustainability, and risk minimization. You can tailor the program to your needs by selecting electives like water management, environmental risk management, sustainability, coastal resilience, geographical information systems, industrial hygiene and environmental geology.

You will enjoy working with our faculty, as they bring a wealth of professional experience into their teaching. You can also gain experience through joining the Green Hawks student organization, hands-on learning via Environmental Institute of Houston, meeting with local environmental professional organizations, community outreach projects and internships.

Our alumni are employed by state and federal agencies, municipalities, consulting firms, local industries and non-profit organizations.
