This internship-based option of Addressing Workforce Needs in Environmental Sciences (AWNES) builds recognition for the MEERM program, fosters degree-related employment for its graduates, and meets evolving business, government, and non-profit environmental management needs.

The Master of Earth and Environmental Resources Management (MEERM) program of graduate study provides curricula for students interested in positions in earth or environmental resource management, and allows students to tailor a graduate degree program in to their own particular goals. The degree balances relevant courses in basic science and engineering with specific courses in policy, management, finance, and economics to ensure well-rounded professional preparation.

The MEERM-AWNES option caters to those already working in environmental careers, who wish to enhance their skills qualifications toward further career progression, as well as those who wish to attain higher entry-level qualifications for the rapidly expanding "green" job market.
