Urban environmental analysis and management is
offered as a concentration at Rutgers University-Newark within the professional science master's
program described under Business and Science 137. The environmental industry is
a mix of advanced science to best delineate and remediate pollution problems
and the management skills to market products and services, manage projects, and
interact with state and federal regulatory agencies. To be successful in this
industry, a unique set of skills are required that are not readily available in
standard science or business programs.
For
the master of business and science (M.B.S.) degree, students take eight
courses (24 credits) in the sciences and 19 credits in business. The
business requirements include courses in finance and accounting,
marketing, communication and leadership, capstone, ethics, and
electives. The science courses
for the urban environmental analysis and management concentration are
given below.
