Degree Requirements
To earn the ALM in Environmental Management, meet the following requirements.
- Complete 10 courses (40 credits):
- four core courses, including the proseminar ENVR E-200, which is taken after the completion of six courses
- an ecology course (with permission of the assistant director, you may substitute this course with another elective if you can demonstrate a substantial background in ecology)
- four electives, either on a general or specialized degree track
- a master’s thesis
-
Demonstrate your analytical skills by completing STAT E-50 or E-102 for undergraduate or graduate credit with a grade of B– or higher or by passing the waiver exam. The course does not count toward the degree, and the requirement must be met before you register for the proseminar. The waiver exam is only for students with prior coursework in statistics. If you do not pass, you must enroll in a statistics course. To set up an appointment to take the exam, contact Stephen Blinn at em@dcemail.harvard.edu.
- Meet the residency requirement.
-
Earn a grade of B– or higher in each course and maintain a 3.0 GPA in courses taken for graduate credit at Harvard Extension School, Summer School, or the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences (GSAS). See Academic Standing & Enrollment.
- Complete six of the total courses with Harvard-affiliated instructors. The master’s thesis counts as one course with a Harvard-affiliated instructor.
-
Complete all requirements within five years of the date of admission or, if the application is delayed, the date of completion of the third prerequisite course. If you are unable to complete the degree within five years you are retired from the program.
