Why  did  you  choose  this  degree  at  UIS?



After  earning  my  B.A.  in  Environmental  Studies  from  UIS  in  2019,  I  wanted  to  continue  to  explore  my  environmental  interests.  I  chose  this  concentration  because  it  offered  opportunities  to  build  and  apply  valuable  skills,  such  as  using  Geographic  Information  System  (GIS).



What  is  your  experience  like  as  a  graduate  student?</div>
