About the course

Environmental Studies students are curious, feisty, and action-oriented. Though the number of environmental problems can be daunting, students are motivated to bring about positive, lasting change through dedicated commitment to the issues that most interest them. The practical, hands-on skills that students learn in EVST often result in tangible results in Missoula, Montana, but more importantly, these skills are adaptable and transferrable, allowing students to apply their knowledge and expertise to environmental issues within their home communities when they graduate.The Environmental Studies Program seeks to provide students with the literacy, skills, and commitment needed to foster a healthy natural environment and to create a more sustainable, equitable, and peaceful world. To these ends, the Environmental Studies Program educates and challenges students to become knowledgeable, motivated and engaged in environmental affairs. Our students acquire the skills and awareness to promote positive social change and improve the environment and communities of Montana and the world, for current and future generations.Students choose from courses offered in environmental and science education. Initially, students may take Foundations in Environmental Education, an Environmental Education review course, and a field exploration course. Environmental Education curriculum development and methods courses are also offered, along with field-oriented science courses. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships

How to apply

Entry requirements for University of Montana

Request official transcripts from every college, university, or trade school you have attended mailed to the EVST office at address below. Some universities can send official transcripts electronically, and if so, that is also acceptable.

　　GRE - Environmental Studies requires verbal, quantitative and analytical writing scores. Subject tests are not required. Use the University of Montana institution code 4489 to indicate that you would like your score sent to UM. The University of Montana receives all GRE score reports electronically so a department code is no longer needed. If you took the test prior to spring 2003, we will accept an official paper copy of your score report. Applicants to the joint Environmental Studies/Law program may submit a LSAT score in lieu of a GRE score. We recommend taking the GRE by December 1st so that UM will officially receive your score by our January 15th priority application deadline.

　　TOEFL - Applicants who are graduates of English-speaking universities are not required to take the TOEFL, IELTS or MELAB, however, all applicants must submit scores for the GRE. Applicants whose native language is not English and did not attend an English-speaking university, must submit TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language), IELTS (International English Language Testing System), or MELAB (Michigan English Language Assessment Battery) scores. If the TOEFL score is below 580 (paper-based test), 237 (computer-based test) or 92 (internet-based test), the IELTS score is below 7.0 or the MELAB score is below 82, applicants may be admitted provisionally or as a graduate non-degree student and be required to complete English as a Second Language course(s) before they can take courses in Environmental Studies.
