The Department of Environmental Science offers a course at the BS level. This Dept. is also giving MS and Ph.D. in Environmental Science degrees. The academic program is running in three terms i.e. Summer (March to May), Autumn (July to September), and Winter (November to January) in a year. In MS degree, a student needs to complete successfully a minimum of 30 credits in course work (21 credits from major department i.e. from Dept. of Environmental Science and 9 credits from others and minor departments), 1 credit seminar, and 12 credits of research. In Ph.D. students must complete 77 course credit hours successfully with at least 39 credits in course work (27 credits from major department i.e. from Dept. of Environmental Science and 12 credits from others and minor departments), 2 credit seminar, and 36 research credits.
The duration of the MS program is usually 5 (Five) terms. However, the degree must be completed within the 9 (Nine) terms from the commencement of the first term of admission. In special circumstances, a candidate may be allowed another 3 (Three) consecutive terms without any interval, subject to the approval of readmission by the academic council.
The execution, addition, and removal of course(s) of the academic program are suggested by the authority of the Board of Studies (BOS) of the department and subsequent approval of the university’s Academic Council.
