Environmental Biology Program (B.A., M.S.)

at Hood College

Within the five-year period, students complete the undergraduate Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Science and Policy and the Master of Science in Environmental Biology. Due to the condensed nature of the five-year dual degree program, interested students are strongly encouraged to plan their coursework with their faculty advisor during their first semester at the College. 

The program is designed for students to undertake a major graduate research project the summer of their fourth year in order to complete their master’s program the following summer. Students accepted into the program are given permission to take up to three graduate courses (9 credits) during their junior and senior years to complete the program, which may be applied toward the degree requirements for both degrees.
