Graduate students in the Rubenstein School work closely with faculty who are dedicated to applied environmental research in service of society and have very active research programs. Faculty take an integrated approach to their research projects, work with other faculty teams in the School, and collaborate nationally and internationally with other researchers. The School has more than 40 graduate faculty members.
Many Rubenstein School graduate students do a general natural resources master's program outside the concentration model, although we encourage students to focus in one of the following concentrations for greater marketability of their degree:
Dual Degree Program with Vermont Law and graduate school
The Master of Environmental Law and Policy (MELP)/Master of Science in Natural Resources (MSNR) Dual Degree Program offered by Vermont Law and Graduate School's Environmental Law Center and the University of Vermont’s Rubenstein School of Environment and Natural Resources gives students an opportunity to deepen their graduate education by integrating significant aspects of the complementary disciplines of environmental law, policy, and science. Each school applies its own grading system to students in the program. Students must be in good academic standing at both schools to remain in the program. Each school issues its own transcript.
