Students equipped with experiences and knowledge can build bridges between scientists, policy makers, and regulators. The culminating internship provides hands-on skills that increases marketability.
What Environmental Science Will Teach You!
Students take classes in the four spheres of the environment: geosphere, hydrosphere, biosphere, and atmosphere, studying geology, hydrology, geographic information systems, ecology, climatology, and toxicology. Students gain broad perspectives in the science, social science, humanities electives, and learn transferable skills for post-graduate employment.
Where Environmental Science Can Take You!
Environmental science majors complete an internship, allowing them to investigate local environmental issues and experience different sub-disciplines. Students have interned with the Alaska Wildlife Conservation Center and the New England Aquarium. Students find employment in many fields including: consulting, research, engineering, and further post-graduate study. Graduates are working at the Nashville Zoo, the Pacific Whale Foundation, SeaWorld Parks & Resorts, and Fagan Engineers & Land Surveyors.
