The program will be ideal for students who want to build on their undergraduate degree by focusing their graduate study on a social systems perspective on environmental problems. The program takes advantage of the flexible, electives-heavy structure of both the undergraduate and graduate degrees. Some unique aspects of this integrated program include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>A minimum of 120 units are required for the Bachelor&rsquo;s degree and 36 units for the master&rsquo;s degree. Up to 12 units can apply to both degrees.<\/li>\n<li>You must maintain a minimum cumulative overall GPA of 3.25 and a minimum cumulative GPA of 3.5 for ESS major requirements to retain your admission status into the integrated Bachelor&rsquo;s\/MA program.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n    <\/body><\/html>\n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n        <!-- shortcode-accordion -->\n<div class=\"shortcode-accordion shortcode-accordion--closed\" style=\"position: relative;\" >\n        <a class=\"shortcode-accordion__trigger\" data-header=\"Admission requirements_2\" href=\"#\">\n      <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__header\">\n          <h4>Admission requirements <span class=\"screen-reader-text\">Accordion Closed<\/span><\/h4>\n          <span class=\"shortcode-accordion__header__arrow\"><\/span>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/a>\n    <div class=\"shortcode-accordion__body\">\n        <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC \"-\/\/W3C\/\/DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional\/\/EN\" \"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/TR\/REC-html40\/loose.dtd\">\n<html><body>\n\n<p>Admission into the program requires a GPA of 3.25 cumulative and 3.5 in ESS major.
