About
The Master of Science in Climate, Environment & Health (MS-CEH) is a full-time, 10-month interdisciplinary program based in Washington, D.C., launching in Fall 2026. The program uniquely prepares emerging leaders to tackle complex challenges at the interface of environmental change and human health.
Rooted in Georgetown’s Jesuit values of service, social justice, and holistic care, the program emphasizes that a healthy planet and healthy communities are inseparable.
By being located in D.C., students gain proximity to federal agencies, NGOs, academic institutions, and policy centers — enhancing opportunities for collaboration, internships, and policy impact.
The program is jointly administered by Georgetown’s School of Health and the Earth Commons Institute for Environment & Sustainability, bringing together expertise across public health, environmental science, policy, and systems thinking.
