The mission of the Masters of Science program in Coastal and Watershed Science & Policy (MS / CWSP) is to build a community of professionals who can employ sound science, technology and economics to inform environmental policies affecting the natural or managed systems of the coastal zone, extending from watersheds to the continental slope.
CSUMB is the only CSU campus offering the CWSP degree. There are two degree options in the M.S. in CWSP, the M.S. with thesis option and the M.S. with a professional internship option; the latter option is called the Professional Science Master's (PSM). The plans of study for both options are similar with the notable exception that instead of writing a thesis, PSM students will engage in a professional internship experience.
