Professional Master’s Students
The Master of Environmental Management (MEM) program offers a professional master’s degree. Please note that this is not a traditional MS degree.

Master’s Projects within the Wong Lab are available. Existing MEM students may contact Juliet (juliet.wong@duke.edu) to discuss potential Master’s Projects. It is not necessary to contact Juliet prior to applying to the MEM program.
