One of the most important decisions for enrolling in advanced education is how to fund your studies. This section provides information on potential financial aid opportunities for students enrolled the Masters of the Environment (MENV) Graduate Program. 

MENV is a 48-credit hour program. The default program length is 21 months. As a part of your Capstone Project, you are required to work 300 hours over the summer, resulting in a portion of tuition being paid at this time. An example of credit hour breakdown is as follows:
