二、Master of Environmental Science and Management (MESM)环境科学与管理硕士
专业介绍：
Program Overview

The Master of Environmental Science and Management (MESM)program is a two-year* professional degree program designed for individuals who plan to enter or re-enter the workforce upon graduation. The program focuses on application and problem-solving and has three parts: the first-year core curriculum, the second-year work in one of seven Specializations, and the Group Project or Eco-Entrepreneurship Project.
The MESM degree is not intended as an intermediate degree for the PhD; however, MESM alumni are adequately prepared for PhD studies in many disciplines, including Environmental Science & Management.
一个为期两年的专业的学位课程，该项目侧重于应用和解决问题，包括三个部分：第一年核心课程，第二年七个不同的专业分支实习实践，以及集团项目或生态创业项目。

课程设置：
Core Courses核心课程

The Bren School MESM degree requires students to complete a core curriculum that provides solid foundation in coupled human and environmental systems. Students become conversant in the language, knowledge, techniques, and methodologies of various disciplines while developing general analytical skills, problem-solving abilities, and the adaptability that is indispensable to professional success. Our objective is to provide a foundation of multidisciplinary knowledge plus quantitative and analytical skills that will enable students to interpret, design, communicate, and implement policy and management solutions. Students normally complete the core courses during the first year of study; the courses are designed to accommodate varying levels of knowledge.
学位要求学生完成核心课程，为人类和环境系统提供坚实的基础。学生熟悉各种学科的语言，知识，技术和方法，同时培养一般分析技能，解决问题的能力以及职业发展成功不可或缺的适应能力。我们的目标是提供多学科知识以及定量和分析技能的基础，使学生能够解释，设计，交流和实施政策和管理解决方案。学生通常在第一学年完成核心课程; 这些课程旨在适应不同层次的知识。

2、先修课要求：
Required Undergraduate Preparation for the MESM Program
The Bren School welcomes applicants from any undergraduate major, and we value a diverse student body. The Bren faculty expect applicants to have completed the following minimum prerequisite coursework:
§ Science – two courses (quarter or semester)科学课程
Applicants may meet the science prerequisite requirement through any combination of two courses in chemistry, biology, physics, earth science, or atmospheric science (including lower- and upper-division courses). Prospective students may want to view syllabi for MESM core courses on natural science (ESM 201 Ecology of Managed Ecosystems, ESM 202 Environmental Biogeochemistry, and ESM 203 Earth System Science). By reviewing these syllabi, prospective students will better understand topics covered in these courses and therefore will identify relevant topics for prior study.申请者可以通过化学，生物学，物理学，地球科学或大气科学（包括低年级和高年级课程）两门课程的任何组合满足科学先决条件要求。
§ Math – two courses (quarter or semester)数学课程
The Bren School emphasizes quantitative and analytical approaches to environmental problem solving, so it is essential for students to have an adequate mathematical foundation. Students may meet the math prerequisite by taking at least two math courses including calculus, statistics and probability, econometrics, or linear algebra, among others.学校强调解决环境问题的定量和分析方法，因此学生必须拥有足够的数学基础。学生可以通过至少两门数学课程（包括微积分，统计学和概率，计量经济学或线性代数等）来达到数学先决条件。
§ Social Science – one courses (quarter or semester)社会科学
Solving environmental problems requires understanding not only science-based solutions, but also the social, political and economic context to determine feasibility. The social science prerequisite can be met by taking at least one course in economics, anthropology, sociology, environmental studies, psychology, or political science, among others.解决环境问题不仅需要了解基于科学的解决方案，还需要了解社会，政治和经济背景以确定可行性。通过至少学习一门经济学，人类学，社会学，环境研究，心理学或政治学等课程，可以满足社会科学的先决条件。
Please note that only courses for which students earned a grade of C or higher will be counted toward meeting MESM prerequisite requirements.要求以上先修课课课程成绩必须在C以上

截止日期：每年1月初
The MESM application will open in the Fall of 2018. MESM applications are normally due early January every year.
