The non-thesis M.S. in Environmental Sciences is a rigorous, three-semester (summer, fall, and spring) graduate program designed to prepare students for professional careers in the field of environmental science. Completion of this degree will help students gain entry into the fields of environmental consulting, wildlife science, natural resource management, K-12 or community college teaching careers, and a variety of other professions within the environmental sciences.

The program in Environmental Sciences prepares students for a future in this broad field through a selection of hands-on courses in biology, geology, geography, and statistics. Although there are no specialization areas within the degree program, students will have some flexibility to choose electives that are geared to their personal interests and goals.

Since 2001 the Live Oak Writing Project (LOWP) has been a collaborative program of The University of Southern Mississippi on the Coast and Mississippi coastal schools. Its purpose is to help teachers improve as writers and effective teachers of writing.

The project provides a model for ongoing professional development that builds independent local programs. Since writing is a skill that is complex, the project models research-based strategies to help students grow as readers, writers, and learners. Programs cross all grade levels and all disciplines.
