Environmental Science

Through the interdisciplinary study of environmental science, graduates learn the connections in nature, how the environment is used and abused, and what individuals can do to protect and improve it for themselves, for future generations, and for other living things. A major objective for a B.S. program in environmental science is to educate individuals to become key personnel for leadership positions in environmental vocations in industry and government. Shortages of environmental scientists are creating a demand for professionals prepared for vocations in field and laboratory work, research and development, management and regulatory jobs.
