[CANUFNET] New MS at DePaul University (Chicago)

[Vogt, Jessica via CANUFNET]

Hello urban forest colleagues!

My department at DePaul University in Chicago has a new masters degree! Hooray! It’s an M.S. in Environmental Science with an urban focus…AND—because I teach and do research in the department with my lab<http://www.lufa-depaul.org/>—the program is individually flexible and could have an urban forestry emphasis if the student is interested.

Here’s the official announcement with information and a link to the program website. We’re already accepting applications from students interested in starting the program as early as this September!

Thank you!
