Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review
bull PE waivers and credit reductions are granted forexperience gained prior to taking courses in theMPA MES and MSES programs
bull Applications for PE must be submitted within the first24-credit hours or they will be denied
32 December 2 2020
bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning
bull A 9-credit-hour reduction is possible for five toseven years of relevant full-time research analytic
technical administrative andor science-basedpolicy experience At this point at least one higher-level multi-year assignment is expected includingdirecting research responsibility for supervision ofstaff budget preparation or organizational control ofpublic or nonprofit agencies or private companies
bull 12-credit-hours is possible for eight or more yearsof relevant experience such as outlined in the bulletabove leading to one or more executive or similarlysenior assignments
Military ExperienceStudents with at least two years of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OR four years of part-timeguardreserve service with the United States military areeligible for an experiential waiver and a minimum 6-creditreduction Up to a 12-credit reduction is possible for fouryears of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OReight years of part-time guardreserve service with theUnited States military Proof of service will be required
Volunteer ExperienceStudents who have participated as a volunteer in PeaceCorps AmeriCorps or Teach For America are eligible fora credit reduction based on years of service as well as awaiver of their experiential component The OrsquoNeill Schoolwill grant a 3-credit reduction for one year of service and a6-credit reduction for two years of service Proof of servicewill be required
Accelerated Master of Science in EnvironmentalScienceOn the Bloomington campus the Accelerated MasterrsquosProgram (AMP) allows exceptional undergraduate ONeillstudents to earn both their undergraduate degree and aMaster of Public Affairs (MPA) or Master of Science inEnvironmental Science (MSES) within an accelerated timeframe (generally five years)
Participation in this program may allow the student tofulfill some graduate program requirements during theirsenior or fourth year Depending upon the path chosensome graduate courses may count for both graduateand undergraduate degree requirements For additionalinformation including major specific requirementsstudents should meet with their undergraduate academicadvisor
Students wishing to participate in the AMP must meetthese minimum requirements
bull Have a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of35 for the MPA or 30 for the MSES
bull Earn at least 96 credit hours in the undergraduatedegree before AMP start including specified coursesin the major (see undergraduate advising for majorspecific requirements)
bull Complete the undergraduate internship prior to AMPstart and if a ONeill honors student complete thehonors thesis requirement
bull Satisfy all undergraduate general education minorsandor certificate requirements before AMP start

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Master of Science in Environmental SciencendashDoctor ofJurisprudenceThe combined Master of Science in EnvironmentalSciencendashDoctor of Jurisprudence program is a four-year115-credit-hour sequence of courses and research thatprovides depth and breadth in both environmental scienceand law Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the Maurer School ofLaw and ONeill
Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period

Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review
bull PE waivers and credit reductions are granted forexperience gained prior to taking courses in theMPA MES and MSES programs
bull Applications for PE must be submitted within the first24-credit hours or they will be denied
32 December 2 2020
bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning
bull A 9-credit-hour reduction is possible for five toseven years of relevant full-time research analytic
technical administrative andor science-basedpolicy experience At this point at least one higher-level multi-year assignment is expected includingdirecting research responsibility for supervision ofstaff budget preparation or organizational control ofpublic or nonprofit agencies or private companies
bull 12-credit-hours is possible for eight or more yearsof relevant experience such as outlined in the bulletabove leading to one or more executive or similarlysenior assignments

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Master of Science in Environmental SciencendashDoctor ofJurisprudenceThe combined Master of Science in EnvironmentalSciencendashDoctor of Jurisprudence program is a four-year115-credit-hour sequence of courses and research thatprovides depth and breadth in both environmental scienceand law Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the Maurer School ofLaw and ONeill
Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period

Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review
bull PE waivers and credit reductions are granted forexperience gained prior to taking courses in theMPA MES and MSES programs
bull Applications for PE must be submitted within the first24-credit hours or they will be denied
32 December 2 2020
bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Master of Science in Environmental SciencendashDoctor ofJurisprudenceThe combined Master of Science in EnvironmentalSciencendashDoctor of Jurisprudence program is a four-year115-credit-hour sequence of courses and research thatprovides depth and breadth in both environmental scienceand law Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the Maurer School ofLaw and ONeill
Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period

Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review
bull PE waivers and credit reductions are granted forexperience gained prior to taking courses in theMPA MES and MSES programs
bull Applications for PE must be submitted within the first24-credit hours or they will be denied
32 December 2 2020
bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period

Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review
bull PE waivers and credit reductions are granted forexperience gained prior to taking courses in theMPA MES and MSES programs
bull Applications for PE must be submitted within the first24-credit hours or they will be denied
32 December 2 2020
bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning
bull A 9-credit-hour reduction is possible for five toseven years of relevant full-time research analytic
technical administrative andor science-basedpolicy experience At this point at least one higher-level multi-year assignment is expected includingdirecting research responsibility for supervision ofstaff budget preparation or organizational control ofpublic or nonprofit agencies or private companies
bull 12-credit-hours is possible for eight or more yearsof relevant experience such as outlined in the bulletabove leading to one or more executive or similarlysenior assignments
Military ExperienceStudents with at least two years of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OR four years of part-timeguardreserve service with the United States military areeligible for an experiential waiver and a minimum 6-creditreduction Up to a 12-credit reduction is possible for fouryears of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OReight years of part-time guardreserve service with theUnited States military Proof of service will be required
Volunteer ExperienceStudents who have participated as a volunteer in PeaceCorps AmeriCorps or Teach For America are eligible fora credit reduction based on years of service as well as awaiver of their experiential component The OrsquoNeill Schoolwill grant a 3-credit reduction for one year of service and a6-credit reduction for two years of service Proof of servicewill be required
Accelerated Master of Science in EnvironmentalScienceOn the Bloomington campus the Accelerated MasterrsquosProgram (AMP) allows exceptional undergraduate ONeillstudents to earn both their undergraduate degree and aMaster of Public Affairs (MPA) or Master of Science inEnvironmental Science (MSES) within an accelerated timeframe (generally five years)
Participation in this program may allow the student tofulfill some graduate program requirements during theirsenior or fourth year Depending upon the path chosensome graduate courses may count for both graduateand undergraduate degree requirements For additionalinformation including major specific requirementsstudents should meet with their undergraduate academicadvisor
Students wishing to participate in the AMP must meetthese minimum requirements
bull Have a minimum undergraduate cumulative GPA of35 for the MPA or 30 for the MSES
bull Earn at least 96 credit hours in the undergraduatedegree before AMP start including specified coursesin the major (see undergraduate advising for majorspecific requirements)
bull Complete the undergraduate internship prior to AMPstart and if a ONeill honors student complete thehonors thesis requirement
bull Satisfy all undergraduate general education minorsandor certificate requirements before AMP start

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Master of Science in Environmental SciencendashDoctor ofJurisprudenceThe combined Master of Science in EnvironmentalSciencendashDoctor of Jurisprudence program is a four-year115-credit-hour sequence of courses and research thatprovides depth and breadth in both environmental scienceand law Both degrees are awarded when the studentmeets the degree requirements of the Maurer School ofLaw and ONeill
Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period

Master of Science inEnvironmental ScienceThe Master of Science in Environmental Science(MSES) program educates professionals who combinespecialization in an area of environmental science withthe analytical and policy skills necessary to apply thatknowledge in a broader context This degree programincludes an experiential requirement usually fulfilled byan internship this requirement can also be fulfilled by theMSES thesis concentration or through prior professionalexperience
For students desiring more in-depth study inenvironmental science the MSES program isan excellent preparation for entry into the PhD inEnvironmental Science program Alternatively studentsdesiring more in-depth preparation in policy law or otherrelated fields can combine their MSES degree with adegree in Public Affairs (MPAndashMSES) law (MSESndashJD) or a number of other disciplines in ChemistryGeological Sciences or Physics
Program QualificationsThe MSES Admissions Committee looks for applicantswith an adequate background in quantitative andnatural science subjects As a minimum you must havecompleted at least one (1) semester of Calculus andChemistry with a lab Familiarity with statistics and biologyecology is considered desirable An applicant who doesnot meet these minimum requirements may be admittedwith a calculus andor chemistry deficiency In thesecases SPEA is interested in assisting you with options toaddress the deficiency(ies) that may have been identifiedby the MSES Admissions Committee
Entrance RequirementsAll students must have undergraduate courseworkrelevant to their intended area of focus in the MSESdegree program Students are expected to have anadequate background in quantitative natural sciencesubjects (eg mathematics chemistry and biologyecology) which may vary according to the concentrationthe student selects
Prior ExperienceA studentrsquos experiential requirement may be satisfiedthrough Prior Experience (PE) Depending upon the typeand amount of experience a student may qualify for acredit reduction as well There are three categories ofPE (Professional Military and Volunteer) available toMPA MSES MPA-MSES and MES students MAAA andMAAA-MPA students have different guidelines for PE asthey are governed by the University Graduate SchoolApplications for the different types of PE may be pickedup in the Masterrsquos Programs Office (MPO ndash SPEAA304) or online via the Current Student Portal in theForms section Completed forms should be returnedto the OrsquoNeill Graduate Records Office (SPEA A328 oroneillrcindianaedu) to be advanced to the appropriateFaculty Program Director for review

bull Students may be approved for more than one type ofPE but the combined credit reduction cannot exceed12-credit hours
bull Credit reductions cannot result in the eliminationof degree or concentration requirements Studentsreceiving prior experience credit reductions shouldcarefully plan the balance of their program with anadvisor
bull A student may not apply for PE with any of OrsquoNeillrsquosoutside dual degree programs (eg MPA-MAMSES-JD) All of OrsquoNeillrsquos outside dual degreeprograms reflect a discounted credit hour program inan effort to streamline the academic demands for thestudent Further credit reductions are not negotiableThis does not apply to ONeills dual MPA-MSES andMAAA-MPA degree
bull Determination of PE credit is made separatelyfrom decisions about transfer of credit Under nocircumstances will the prior experience credit andtransfer credit total more than 21-credit hours
Professional ExperienceExperiential waivers and credit reductions can be grantedfor prior professional or technical work experience Theappropriate Faculty Program Director determines ifthe experience qualifies for a waiver andor reductionIn general credit reductions require work experienceabove entry level that involves some independentmanagerial analytic or scientific responsibility and workthat articulates with the studentrsquos current field of studyApplicants may appeal a professional credit decision bysubmitting a request in writing for reconsideration andproviding additional information Students receiving priorprofessional experience credit should carefully plan thebalance of their program with a faculty advisor
General guidelines to qualify for Professional ExperienceWork must have been full-time either paid or unpaid Toreceive a waiver of the degreersquos experiential requirementwork experience should roughly equal or surpass thatof a summer internship To qualify for credit reductionin addition to a waiver of the experiential requirementexperience must have been with a single entity for at leasttwo years (consulting work may present an exception)Position may be with government private firm or nonprofitorganization but the work must be explicitly related to aMSES career path regardless of the type of employerEmploying entity may be domestic or internationalDocumentation from supervisors may be required
MSES Guidelinesbull To receive a 3-credit-hour reduction a student
must have a minimum of two years technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with a governmentnonprofit or private agency
bull 6 credit-hours is generally possible for two tofour years of relevant full-time analytic technicaladministrative scientific andor science-basedenvironmental policy experience with significantresponsibilities for example in research designprogram leadership budgetary oversightorganizational or staff development analysis orplanning
bull A 9-credit-hour reduction is possible for five toseven years of relevant full-time research analytic
technical administrative andor science-basedpolicy experience At this point at least one higher-level multi-year assignment is expected includingdirecting research responsibility for supervision ofstaff budget preparation or organizational control ofpublic or nonprofit agencies or private companies
bull 12-credit-hours is possible for eight or more yearsof relevant experience such as outlined in the bulletabove leading to one or more executive or similarlysenior assignments
Military ExperienceStudents with at least two years of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OR four years of part-timeguardreserve service with the United States military areeligible for an experiential waiver and a minimum 6-creditreduction Up to a 12-credit reduction is possible for fouryears of active duty or full-time guardreserve service OReight years of part-time guardreserve service with theUnited States military Proof of service will be required
Volunteer ExperienceStudents who have participated as a volunteer in PeaceCorps AmeriCorps or Teach For America are eligible fora credit reduction based on years of service as well as awaiver of their experiential component The OrsquoNeill Schoolwill grant a 3-credit reduction for one year of service and a6-credit reduction for two years of service Proof of servicewill be required

Specialized Concentration(18 credit hours) In consultation with advisors studentsmay design curricula that anticipate their career andeducational goals and reflect their background andtraining Specialized concentrations must be approved bythe students faculty advisor and the appropriate facultyprogram director to ensure high standards of rigor depthand breadth Specialized concentrations must be declaredwithin the first 24 credit hours of a students program
Thesis ConcentrationStudents who wish to pursue their own research may doso under the MSES thesis concentration (18 credit hours)Note that a masterrsquos thesis is generally not requiredfor admission to doctoral programs although researchexperience (for example through GAships or researchinternships) is strongly recommended Students interestedin research experience and considering a future doctoraldegree should talk with the MSES faculty advisors to
determine what kinds of research experience will be mostuseful to them
Students pursue the MSES thesis concentration underthe guidance of a major professor and thesis committeecomprising at least 3 SPEA faculty (including the majoradvisor) Students must find a faculty member willing towork with them as a major professor and must do so earlyin their degree preferably in their first semester
MSES thesis concentrations must have a minimum of18 credits comprising environmental science courseworkand research credit (E625) and may have as much as24 credits The mix of research and courses is designedand agreed upon among the student major advisor andother committee members and must be approved by theMSES program director When the thesis is completedthe student must successfully defend the thesis providinga public presentation about the research and then makinga closed-door defense to the thesis committee
MSES students taking the thesis concentration must stillmeet the requirement for at least 6 credits of EconomicsManagementPolicy coursework which will typicallyfall outside the thesis concentration The capstonerequirement and experiential requirement are met bythe thesis concentration students do not need to take aspecific capstone course nor are they required to completean internship This does not prevent thesis students fromtaking a capstone course or undertaking a traditionalinternship if they wish to do so
For MPA-MSES students the MSES thesisconcentration fulfills the concentration requirement forthe MSES degree MPA-MSES students mustalso complete 12 concentration credits from the MPAcurriculum as outlined in the requirements for the MPA-MSES degree Alternatively students may choose tocomplete an entire MPA concentration
Completion of the MSES thesis concentration fulfills thecapstone and experiential requirements for the MPA-MSES dual degree This does not prevent thesisstudents from taking a capstone course or undertaking atraditional internship if they wish to do so

Application and Admission The student must have a bachelorrsquos degree in a physicalor life science engineering or related field Studentsinterested in the dual MSESndashJD must apply to boththe Maurer School of Law and the ONeill School of Publicand Environmental Affairs Students normally apply toboth schools concurrently for the combined program Itis possible however for a person already enrolled in theMaurer School of Law to apply for admission to the ONeillSchool of Public and Environmental Affairs up to the endof the second year of law study A student enrolled inONeill may seek admission to the Maurer School of Lawup to the end of the first year of the MSES program
Academic Standing Grade point averages in the School of LawmdashBloomingtonand ONeill are computed separately To continue in theprogram the student must meet the academic standardsin each school A student failing in one school but meetingacademic standards in the other may complete work forthe degree in the school in which academic standardsare being met Such completion must be according to thesame conditions required of regular (noncombination)degree candidates that is 82 credit hours for law and 48credit hours for ONeill Students are eligible for honors ineach school based on the criteria of each school
Program Advisors Students enrolled in the combined program are required tohave a ONeill faculty advisor and are encouraged to seekan advisor from the faculty of the Maurer School of LawThe co-advisors can then review and counsel with respectto each studentrsquos course selection for each semester toassure attainment of educational objectives
School Residency Students in the dual MSESndashJD program should enrollin courses through ONeill the first year of their programsand through the Maurer School of Law in the secondyear of their programs Alternatively dual MSESndashJDstudents have the option of enrolling in courses throughthe Maurer School of Law in the first year and ONeill inthe second year In the third and fourth years or untilthe dual program is completed students should enrollthrough the school in which the majority of their credithours resides in each enrollment period
