History edit

The School for Environment and Sustainability was founded as the School of Forestry in 1927 in the Kraus Building, it is now housed in the S.T. Dana Building. SEAS provides graduate-level degrees at the doctorate and master's levels. Prior to 2004, the School of Natural Resources and Environment offered undergraduate degrees in Environmental Science and Environmental Policy, before restructuring as a graduate-level degree program.

The school houses several research centers, works with experts in other fields at the University of Michigan, and works towards the goals of protecting the earth's resources and pursuing the achievement of a sustainable society.[citation needed]

Degree programs edit

The school offers two master's degrees: an M.S. (Master of Science) in Natural Resources and Environment and an M.L.A. (Master of Landscape Architecture) in Landscape Architecture.

Students in the M.S. program specialize in one of seven fields of study:

  • Behavior, Education and Communication
  • Ecosystem Science and Management - Conservation Ecology
  • Geospatial Data Sciences - Environmental Informatics
  • Environmental Justice
  • Environmental Policy and Planning
  • Sustainable Systems
  • Sustainability & Development

Students pursuing an M.L.A. degree choose from two tracks:

  • Three-year accredited M.L.A. degree
  • Two-year program for those individuals interested in obtaining a second degree in landscape architecture at the master's level, practicing landscape architects seeking advanced education, and those interested in pursuing a doctoral degree

Two doctorate-level degrees are offered by the school.
