About the course

Today’s complex environmental problems involve vast amounts of data. In the Master of Science (M.S.) program in Environmental OMICS at St. John’s University, you develop the ability to analyze big data sets related to the environment. This understanding prepares you for careers helping industries use environmentally sustainable processes, manufacture safer products, and better manage their corporate responsibility. Because protecting environmental resources is the cornerstone of environmental social justice, the M.S. program aligns with the mission of St. John’s. Environmental OMICS is the branch of environmental science that applies OMICS technologies to address environment-related scientific questions. OMICS refers to the technologies used to explore the functions of the various types of molecules that make up the cells of an organism. It aims at the collective characterization and quantification of pools of biological molecules that translate into the structure, function, and dynamics of an organism or organisms. For example, within the field of environmental OMICS, one might study an organism’s genome in relation to dietary and environmental exposures using a combination of field, bench, and computational research approaches. The M.S. in Environmental OMICS offers both a 33-credit non-thesis option and a 30-credit thesis option. The program’s culminating experience includes a choice of a capstone project, comprehensive examination, or thesis, which students select in consultation with a faculty advisor.
