Master of Environmental Management

The M.E.M. (Master of Environmental Management) is a degree designed for students with primary interests in careers in environmental policy and analysis, stewardship, education, consulting, or management dealing with natural resource or environmental issues. The program requires course work in both the natural and social sciences, with a particular focus on the relationship among science, management, and policy. The ultimate purpose of the degree program is to prepare students to address ecological and social systems with scientific understanding and an ability to make sense of the complex underlying social and ecological context.

In the words of dean of Yale School of Forestry and Environmental Studies, "thoughtful analysis and rigorous scientific study of the interactions between human societies and the natural world" is the basis for sound environmental management.

The Yale Center for Management and the Environment is a center that provides a 3-year joint master's degree program that combines an MBA at the School of Management with a master’s degree in environment or forestry from the School of Forestry and Environmental Studies.
