Related Online Degrees & Career Pathways

If you’re interested in Ecology and Evolution but want to explore additional career options, there are several online degree pathways that can help you specialize or broaden your skills. Many students pair environmental science knowledge with expertise in human behavior, counseling, or psychology to unlock interdisciplinary careers in research, advocacy, education, and therapy.

Accelerated online programs can help you advance quickly. Consider the accelerated psychology masters programs if you want to understand behavioral responses to environmental change, which is important for roles in public policy and conservation outreach. Alternatively, the accelerated online masters in counseling degree offers training in supporting communities facing ecological challenges and adapting to environmental stressors.

Graduates with an interest in the legal and forensic aspects of environmental science may be curious about what can I do with a forensic psychology degree, which can involve environmental crime investigation and advocacy for affected populations. For those passionate about working with young people, an online child psychology masters prepares you to support youth as they engage with or are impacted by ecological issues and climate change.
