Environmental Science is the study of interrelationships between human activities and the environment. We examine effects of human actions on the environment, and the means by which policies, regulations, and decisions influence human actions. We also examine human behavioral, cultural, and sociological interactions that affect the environment.

The program offers two interdisciplinary programs, Environmental Science and Environmental Studies, with over a dozen study area concentrations.

Major in Environmental Science

For students interested in fields such as air and water quality, conservation biology, agro-ecology, public health, environmental engineering, forestry, and fisheries. Areas of concentration include: conservation ecology, terrestrial ecosystems, aquatic ecosystems, landscape ecology, environmental health and toxicology, environmental geology and environmental chemistry....
