Environmental Management

Kean University’s Master of Science (M.S.) in Environmental Management is a comprehensive, interdisciplinary program designed to prepare the next generation of leaders for roles in environmental management, policy development and sustainable practices. Bridging the gap between science, management and policy, the program equips students with the practical skills and interdisciplinary knowledge necessary to address complex environmental challenges at local, regional and global scales. 

This is the only graduate-level environmental management program in the state of New Jersey. It offers students a unique opportunity to blend science with practical management and public policy experience, preparing them to lead large-scale projects and manage diverse teams.
