MES Program Course List

For a list of current courses, visit the MES Course Schedule. Visit the Course Descriptions for a complete description of each course.

The following is a sample of approved EVSS courses. Core courses are indicated with (C). The remaining courses listed are intended to give students a general idea of electives they may take for MES program credit. In all cases, courses taken for elective credit must be approved by the student's Program of Study Advisory Committee prior to enrollment. Students are also expected to meet any necessary prerequisites. Some courses offered through other Graduate Programs at the College of Charleston or through transfer credit at other institutions that may be used for elective credit are not listed here.

A number of courses of special interest are offered, listed below as EVSS 695 courses. Students are also welcome to develop Independent Study courses (EVSS 693) tailored to their particular areas of interest.
