About the course

Environmental Sciences is an interdisciplinary field focusing on the interactions between processes that shape our natural environment. The Department of Environmental Sciences conducts research and offers instruction in the areas of Ecology, Geoscience, Hydrology, and Atmospheric Science. This unique integration of various Earth sciences and ecology within a single, academic department offers majors an opportunity to understand scientific processes and problems related to the environment. The research efforts of both faculty and students, whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary, address problems of fundamental scientific interest. Both Bachelor of Science (BS) and Bachelor of Arts (BA) degrees are offered. The undergraduate program is sufficiently flexible that majors can tailor their curriculum to meet a variety of goals, including:

　　preparation for post-graduate study within the sciences, including disciplinary and interdisciplinary programs,

　　development of a rigorous science background from which to pursue graduate-level training in professional programs such as law, planning, medicine, business, or environmental engineering,

　　grounding in a basic discipline as a foundation of a liberal arts education, and

　　preparation for entry-level positions in private industry (such as environmental consultancies), regulatory agencies, or the federal government. Scholarships - View all scholarships Internships
