The Bachelor of Science program in Environmental Science is a broad, science-based curriculum designed to prepare students for a variety of environmentally-related technical careers, as well as for graduate programs in allied fields. The mission of the program includes broadening the scientific literacy of Environmental Science majors and increasing their understanding of the scientific context of environmental problems and solutions to enable them to become informed participants and leaders in the current and future debates on the state of the environment. The program also seeks to provide a supportive environment which stimulates analytical thinking and encourages a broad perspective in learning for our majors and those taking our courses, challenging them to get the maximum benefit from their talents and skills.
The Program requires 192 credit hours and draws upon the faculty and resources of the Program and several other departments. Majors take core courses in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Mathematics, and Physics, four courses in an Area of Emphasis, two electives related to Environmental Science, and three University-wide electives. The Area of Emphasis enables the student to take a concentration in the area of environmental science most interesting to them, most suited to their talents, and most appropriate for their career goals.
