Introduction
The Environmental Science Program at NHSC focuses on integrating local Fort Berthold environmental issues with Mandan, Hidatsa, and Arikara cultures. The program will provide a solid foundation in a range of specialties including: water, air, and soil quality; wildlife, range, and fisheries management; toxicology; and resource conservation, which will enable our students to gain employment in a wide range of natural resource-related areas.
The two year Associate of Science degree flows seamlessly into the Bachelor of Science degree and graduates from NHSC’s environmental science program will be able to provide essential support for remediating, restoring, and managing local natural resources. The program will prepare students for employment in such fields as fish and wildlife management, recreation management, resource management, environmental quality and range/grasslands management. Although students will study a range of specialties, they should specialize in one of these fields through the choice of electives, the student internship, and their field research.
