The MSES Specialization options are structured sets of elective courses that expose students to important environmental issues and technologies. The options focus students into environmental specialties that will enhance their professional career development. Availability of courses required in the options may change as the disciplinary programs that offer them alter departmental schedules; in these circumstances, option advisors will work with students to substitute appropriate courses.

Note: MS students are not required to select a structured specialization option; with the assistance of an academic advisor, students may select any combination of elective courses that satisfy degree requirements.

Job Opportunity Potential

Finding a Job
The first and best place to look for student employment opportunities will be on Handshake, CU Denver's online job board. Not sure how to navigate the site? Stop in for our drop in hours during QuickTips and we can sit down together to work on a search strategy.

Types of Employment
Work-Study
Work-Study is a financial aid award that allows undergraduate and graduate students to work part-time to earn money to pay for educational expenses. The program encourages community service work and work related to the recipient's course of study. Students earning work-study funds are paid bi-weekly. If awarded work-study, students may search open positions on the Handshake job board.

Students can be awarded Federal or Colorado Work Study. Not sure if you have Work-Study? It will be a specific line item in your financial aid award package located in your student portal.

Student Hourly
Student Hourly positions are on-campus positions funded by a university department’s budget. Work-study and/or financial aid is not required for this type of employment. All hourly students must be enrolled in some credit-earning capacity during the semester in which you are employed. Students may search open positions on the Handshake job board.

Regular Hourly
Regular Hourly positions are offered by businesses in the surrounding Denver community, and are not affiliated with the university. All students, regardless of enrollment or financial need, may apply for these positions through the Handshake job board.
