COURSE CURRICULUM

The Master of Science (M.S.) program in Environmental and Radiological Health Sciences is a graduate-level academic pathway designed for students who wish to advance their knowledge and skills in health, environmental science, and radiation-related disciplines. Students interested in applying are encouraged to contact their department representative or consult the official department website for detailed program requirements, coursework structure, and additional academic resources. The program provides both on-campus learning opportunities and, in some cases, access to broader institutional resources that support graduate education and research training. Eligible students from member states of the Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education (WICHE) may also qualify for the Western Regional Graduate Program (WRGP), which allows them to attend the on-campus format while paying resident tuition rates, making graduate education more affordable for qualifying applicants. Detailed eligibility guidelines and application procedures are available through the WRGP webpage. The degree requirements, including coursework credits and academic expectations, are outlined in the Colorado State University general catalog, and students are strongly advised to consult this resource in combination with guidance from their departmental advisors to ensure they meet all graduation requirements. In addition to academic coursework, students may have opportunities for student employment positions such as Graduate Teaching Assistantships (GTA), Graduate Research Assistantships (GRA), Graduate Service Assistantships (GSA), or hourly employment, all of which provide valuable professional experience and financial support during their studies. Applicants are encouraged to discuss these opportunities with their academic advisor and departmental graduate coordinator. Furthermore, financial aid resources are available through the university’s Office of Financial Aid, and students may also find additional funding opportunities within the department itself. Overall, the program is structured to support students academically, professionally, and financially as they pursue advanced training in environmental and radiological health sciences.
