Masters theses completed within the CWSP program

There are two options for completing a degree within the CWSP program: the Thesis Option, and the Professional Science Master's (PSM) Option. The thesis option culminates in a thesis dissertation, while the PSM option culminates in a professional internship with a local organization. The two options share a common base of coursework.

The Thesis Option provides students with an opportunity to complete an applied scientific research project within the context of an environmental issue.

The CWSP program began in Fall 2006. Theses completed to date are listed below.
