Description:
Over the last 9 years, the M.S. in Environmental Biology Program at Regis University has prepared students for careers in the environmental & ecological workforce.
Our program differs from more traditional thesis-based master’s programs in that we:
-Emphasize learning & applying skills demanded by employers to ecosystem management. These skills include GIS, statistical computing in R, professional writing, environmental policy, wetland delineation, & advanced ecology.
-Emphasize field-based research during both a 100-hour internship at an external agency & a cohort-based field research project with ecosystem managers at partner agencies including Denver Mountain Parks.
-Offer a flexible timeline. You can earn your master’s degree in an intensive, 1-year program or up to 3 years as it fits with your needs & goals.
-Offer small class sizes & a cohort experience that enables students to build close relationships
with other students & faculty members who are focused on helping each student navigate their own career pathway.
Our alumni have indicated that the program’s applied skills-based emphasis has prepared them well for securing & maintaining employment. Not only do program experiences enrich their resumes, but the content focus & gained experience make our students highly competitive applicants. Within several months of graduation, most of our graduates obtain employment in a wide array of jobs in the governmental, private, & nonprofit sectors.
We have Teaching Fellowships available for the 2025-2026 academic year, which provide valuable teaching experience & offset tuition expenses for competitive applicants. If interested, you can apply for a fellowship when you apply to the program.
