ABOUT THE COLLEGE AND THE PROGRAM


The College:

The mission of the College of Humanities and Social Sciences at
California State University, Fullerton is to educate students to be
culturally, globally, socially, historically and environmentally
astute, civically responsible alumni able to navigate an
increasingly complex and interconnected world.


The College of Humanities and Social Sciences' departments and
programs offer students the breadth of a traditional liberal arts
education in the humanities and social sciences while preparing
them for a wide range of professions, for graduate school, and for
advanced professional study in fields such as law, education,
public administration, clinical psychology, and business. Students
who graduate with a degree from H&SS are assured of having
depth of understanding in their field of study and the useful core
skills that are most attractive to prospective employers and to
success in graduate school.


The College of Humanities and Social Sciences is the largest
college at Cal State Fullerton, offering 23 undergraduate degrees,
38 minors, and 15 graduate degrees. The 20 departments and programs
employ over 450 faculty and 50 staff members serving more than
7,500 students and annually awarding over 2,000 degrees. For more
information about the college, please go to http://hss.fullerton.edu/


The Program:
The Environmental Studies
(ENST) Program opened its doors in the late 1960's and awarded its
first degree in the early 1970's and is still going strong today.
It represents a large and academically diverse inter-disciplinary
graduate program for students wishing to obtain a Master of Science
in Environmental Studies. The breadth and flexibility of the ENST
Program has acted as a magnet for academically and professionally
high-quality students.


Rather than conforming to a rigidly-defined curriculum, students
are encouraged to craft a graduate study plan that meets both the
core requirements of the ENST Program, and allows them to pursue
courses in other departments that suit their own vocational or
intellectual goals.


The Program has been able to draw on excellent instructors and
mentors from an array of departments (e.g. biology, economics,
geography, geology, history, sociology, and others), and on a pool
of highly trained environmental professionals from local and
regional government, as well as private environmental firms.


Further information regarding the MS in Environmental Studies
program's curriculum and its faculty may be obtained from the
departmental website at http://hss.fullerton.edu/envstud/
