Statement of Purpose

The statement of purpose helps us understand what you care about, how your experiences support the pursuit of an MS degree, and how an increased scientific understanding in environment and resources will further your goals. There is no pre-defined best answer, and we hope you are able to share your authentic self. This statement of purpose should address the following questions:


-What environment, energy, and/or sustainability-related resource issue(s) do you wish to address, and what makes those important to you?

Explain what motivates you to dedicate a significant part of your educational pursuits to a Master of Science in Environment and Resources.


-Tell us how your professional and personal experiences will help you pursue your E-IPER degree.

Please emphasize the ways in which your experiences and skill sets will help you navigate and be successful in E-IPER. (Note that we are looking for more than a list of your experiences or skill sets as we can see those in your resume.)


-Discuss how an increased understanding of environment and resources (e.g., in the natural or social sciences, or in engineering) will support your goals.

Use our website to learn about E-IPER's curriculum and experiences, such as the Capstone project. Provide clear examples to help us understand the topics about which you are excited to learn and how they connect to the issues important to you.


Resumé/CV

Provide your most recent resumé/CV.


Unofficial Transcript

Provide an unofficial Stanford transcript that includes your Autumn quarter grades and Winter quarter classes.

1) The name of proposed course pathway


2) Course number, title, year, and quarter of proposed courses:


  • Four pathway courses
  • One human environmental decision-making course
  • Four to five elective courses
  • Capstone


Please use the course pathway links on the curriculum page, the professional school course list, and this elective list to explore the approved course lists.

Second Year Applicants

Second year applicants are required to have completed or be enrolled in a minimum of 9 units of non-professional school E-IPER units by the time of their application in the second year. This is a minimum requirement, and does not guarantee acceptance.


Quantitative Preparation Description (For JD and MA Students Only)

Students applying for the Joint MS-JD should include a brief description of their quantitative preparation (ie. 1-2 paragraphs describing previous coursework in mathematics and sciences or relevant professional work and a bulleted list of coursework, if applicable) to demonstrate readiness for the science and engineering courses that are required for the Joint MS.
