Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science

Environmental science is an interdisciplinary field of study that focusses on understanding the environmental processes and problems caused by human use of the natural world. The environmental science program will provide interdisciplinary training on environmental assessment and problem-solving expertise to the next generation environmental professional. The goal is to prepare students to become environmental analysts, and environmental management specialists. In the senior year, students are highly recommended to take two consecutive semesters of research courses along with senior seminars, working on an environmental science-related research project, to complete their senior paper.
