Enviro22

My adviser suggested it because I was asking about human dimensions. I can't remember where I first saw the phrase, probably while searching online for what to call my jumbled up interests. It is really difficult to put into words sometimes. I will have to look into the program more. I will be sure to look at these other suggestions as well. Some of them sound like they might be what I'm looking for. Thank you both for your suggestions.

Thank you, I will take a look at these! The program is at Colorado State (here: http://warnercnr.colostate.edu/hdnru.html). My current adviser told me about it and said it was a good program. But I don't know much about it. The requirements for admission don't seem very competitive, but perhaps the area is too new to have much interest yet. I am actually interested in wildlife conservation, but I am interested in the "people part". Programs can be sound in theory, but then fail because they don't take people into consideration (culture, politics, economics, general values/beliefs, etc). I am somewhat interested in policy, but not policy analysis. I am also interested in public education programs, things that might get people "on board". I am not sure what that would be career-wise.

Hello all! I wasn't sure where to post this, so I hope this is okay. I was interested in a MS in environmental studies, but then I stumbled across this thing called human dimensions. I was wondering what the difference is and if maybe human dimensions would be a better choice for me. I am interested environmental studies, but more the social science side of things. You can do that with an environmental studies degree, but I wonder if that might look ambiguous to potential employers. For example, they might not know if you were hard science or social science. Could someone help me compare environmental studies to human dimensions? Which would be better for helping me find a job in the future? Or does it matter? Thanks!
