　　Environmental science is a multidisciplinary field designed to examine environmental problems and find solutions. This field requires understanding of a number of disciplines including biology, physics, and chemistry. Solving some of our environmental problems also requires knowledge of environmental policy, ethics, and scientific data analysis.

　　The program has an integrated curricular approach designed around student laboratory and field investigations. The goal of this program is to give students not only knowledge about biology, chemistry, and ecology, but also the ability to use the tools and skills of a scientist. The program includes extensive use of computers in the laboratory and students make frequent oral and written presentations based on their laboratory projects.
