Master of Science in Applied Geosciences
Selena (Oleck) Higgins
“It started with my mom,” shares Selena (Oleck) Higgins (Master of Science in Applied Geosciences ’15) about her lifelong commitment to environmental issues. “She instilled in me from a young age that the Earth is important.” Today, Selena is a Staff Geologist for Roux Associates, an environmental consulting firm. In her role, she focuses primarily on industrial sites in New Jersey with suspected or known contamination. Her work is split between filing reports, doing field work and conducting research that helps engineers find solutions. She notes, “I like solving real-world problems.”
Master of Philosophy in Organizational Dynamics
The Master of Philosophy in Organizational Dynamics (MPhil) is an advanced graduate degree designed for individuals who want to demonstrate applied scholarship beyond a master’s degree but who are not ready to, or may not wish to, apply for a doctoral program. The Master of Philosophy in Organizational Dynamics can serve as an important step in future PhD study preparation or simply to deepen engagement with the topics studied in a previous master’s degree.
