About this blog

Graduate students at St. Edward's University in the Professional Science Master’s in Environmental Management and Sustainability (MSEM) program gain valuable hands-on field experience through coursework, research, and internships.

During the first year of the program, students learn environmental research and project management skills from researchers and practitioners in and around Austin and write proposals for research to be conducted over the following year.

Over the summer, students travel to Costa Rica for four weeks to participate in an in-depth exploration of sustainable development strategies that integrate environmental conservation and economic development.

As the culminating experience, students complete an internship where they apply the skills gained in the academic program to managing a project for a public or private sector organization. Projects take place around the world and cover a range of different topics.
