Environmental OMICS is the branch of environmental science that applies OMICS (i.e., the various technologies used to explore the functions of molecules that make up the cells of an organism) to address environment-related scientific questions.
In this new program, you become a data scientist with expertise in analyzing environmental and genetic factors, toxicity mechanisms, and modes of action and how they respond to environmental stresses. You may pursue either the 30-credit thesis option or the 33-credit nonthesis option.
Students can gain professional experience and build their résumé with faculty-guided research and internship opportunities. Assistantships, scholarships, and financial aid are available to qualified students.
Career Outlook
Graduates with an M.S. in Environmental OMICS meet a high demand for environmental scientists and information research scientists. In fact, according to the US Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of environmental scientists and specialists will grow by 11 percent from 2016 to 2026, and the need for computer and information research scientists is projected to grow 19 percent during the same period.
