Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science at the School of Mathematics, Science and Engineering prepares future leaders in sustainability, conservation and natural resource management.
As the emphasis on sustainability and corporate and social responsibility grows, so too does the demand for well-educated and ethical environmental science professionals. With their deep understanding of the natural environment and its processes and connections, environmental scientists can help steward organizations to improve their operations, lead research into emerging science, and help inform government or social policy that directly impacts quality of life for the people, animals and ecosystems.
The B.S. in Environmental Science is a 120-hour degree program that integrates study in several different science fields ensuring that students have a strong foundation and broad understanding of biology, chemistry, geology, physics and meteorology. Students can expect a rigorous curriculum that spans study of the elements of the natural world and the challenges facing each, including air pollution, water quality and soil conservation. An understanding of statistics and mathematics is also an important part of the well-rounded degree program.
