Master of Science (MS): 30 credits

In consultation with Greenwich University, to increase the benefits of the AE/IE Degree Program, Greenwich students take the first 75% of all coursework ( 22 credits) with Greenwich faculty member Dr. Michael J. Cohen through the IGE Graduate Student Cooperative. This section usually includes the minimum 15 credits of core courses that are required to be an enrolled student. The actual number of additional courses you need to take varies because it is based on the number of applicable transfer courses you bring into the program.

Upon satisfactory completion of the 22 IGE credits, a student in good standing completes the remaining 8 credits of their program through the online Applied Ecopsychology/Integrated Ecology Department at Greenwich University. Here students continue under the tutalege of Dr. Cohen, Greenwich Lead Faculty, throughout the final courses of the MS. program. The final project or thesis of the MS will be evaluated by a dissertation committee comprised of Greenwich Faculty. Tuition is paid directly to Greenwich for the concluding courses and services.

MS program announcements and guidelines

- Credit costs are $200/credit at the IGE Cooperative and Greenwich Courses.
- Financial assistance may not be available for the final 8 credit Greenwich component of the program.
- The program must be completed in two years. Special petitions for extra time are considered.
- Without financial assistance or transfer courses the total tuition is $6,000

A total of 15 AE/IE core course credits must be taken as part of the Cooperative program and paid for during the first semester to be in good standing in the program. The coursework for these credits may be distributed over three or more semesters. Students may start a 6-month semester at the beginning of any month after giving a one month prior notice. 6-15 credits may be taken each semester.
