Introduction
If you’re passionate about improving and sustaining life on Earth, the Environmental Sciences program will transform your passion into practice. Using interdisciplinary approaches, coupled with hands-on field and laboratory experiences, you will be prepared for a career in environmental fields.
Society depends on environmental scientists to encourage the efficient use of natural resources, advocate for diverse and sustainable energy resources, and help solve complex environmental problems. The program incorporates a strong background in all physical and natural sciences and includes extensive laboratory and field experiences.
The Environmental Science program exposes you to environmental system processes and will prepare you to understand how changes (natural and anthropogenic) influence the Earth. The curriculum emphasizes field analysis of natural systems and technical training, providing you with job-ready skills. Our goal is to train scientists who use their knowledge to protect the environment and human health, conserve natural resources, advise policymakers, and work with industry to address environmental issues.
