The Environmental Science major offers a BS degree to students interested in understanding and managing the interactions between the natural environment and human societies. The program creates a foundation using environmental science, biology, chemistry, geology, and statistics courses followed by additional work in these areas along with ecology, math, and physics. The major encourages students to select one or two areas of interest and build their program around those areas. In addition, students develop excellent writing and oral presentation skills throughout their coursework and, especially, in their senior project.
Our graduates are prepared for careers in environmental management and protection as well as graduate programs in environmental science and related areas.
