Master of Science in Engineering, Sustainability and Health

Learn to think through the lens of other disciplines, cultures, and practices to develop the capabilities to co-create solutions to our greatest global challenges.

The world’s problems do not stop at disciplinary boundaries. Disease, poverty, inequity and social injustice, humanitarian crises, and climate change are just a few of the interlinked global crises that are challenging us to take a more holistic view of the health of our planet and our future.

To meet these challenges, the University of San Diego offers the Master of Science in Engineering, Sustainability and Health (MESH) degree program to provide today’s problem solvers with a purposeful and critical transdisciplinary practice that incorporates complex system approaches to sustainability and health.

For USD Engineering (Integrated) majors interested in pursuing a Master of Science in Engineering, Sustainability and Health, there is an option that allows students to apply units to both their undergraduate degree and their graduate degree.
