Environmental Science and Studies: Environmental Science Concentration

The environmental science concentration prepares students to become environmental problem-solvers in a world confronting ever-increasing challenges relating to climate change, population expansion, and depletion of natural resources.

Environmental scientists need to be familiar with natural systems and how they respond to disturbance. They also need to understand the interactions and potential for conflict between social and natural systems. The program prepares students with specific training in your selected specialization and interdisciplinary study. Faculty represent a broad range of expertise, including biology, chemistry, geology, ecology, mathematics, geography, philosophy, political science, economics and environmental health.

You will also benefit from the integration of the various disciplines and perspectives during the senior seminar, research, or internship opportunity that all students complete toward the end of their program of study.
