BS Environmental Science

Whether it's examining global climate change or researching tropical deforestation, environmental scientists take steps to help make the world a more sustainable place. As a student in the environmental science major, you’ll explore conservation topics while studying how humans interact with the natural environment.

The environmental science curriculum is interdisciplinary, so you’ll be taking courses in a variety of fields including biology, chemistry, geography, economics, physics, political science, philosophy and ethics. You'll also gain real-world experience through interning at places like the National Park Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, the National Science Foundation or private companies and nonprofits focused on environmental issues.
