Progressive Master of Arts program and traditional Master of Science program
In the junior year of the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science program, a student has the option of applying for a progressive Master of Arts degree. Requirements for admission to this program include an overall grade point average of 3.2 or better and completion of at least 32 units of the ENST core curriculum prior to attaining senior status. Once accepted, the progressive degree student begins taking a mix of graduate and undergraduate course work in the fourth year, followed by a fifth year of graduate course work. Full-time registration in this program provides a path to the Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science in Environmental Studies at the end of four years followed by the Master of Arts in Environmental Studies after only one year of additional study. Coursework in the Master of Arts program included professional training in the preparation and review of environmental planning documents. A traditional two-year Master of Science in Environmental Studies is also offered for students applying directly to graduate studies at USC.

Progressive Degree Program in Environmental Studies
This progressive degree program allows superior USC undergraduates completing a bachelor's degree in a related natural science or environmental policy area to also complete a master's degree in environmental studies in as little as five years. An overall GPA of 3.2 or higher in all courses taken at USC is preferred. A 3.2 GPA does not guarantee acceptance. For more information about progressive degrees, see
here.
These programs will change, some will be dropped and new programs will be available beginning fall 2009.
