An Environmental Science major at Ashland University is an interdisciplinary foundation in sciences suited to a broad range of promising career options. Our environmental science majors focusing on chemistry receive best possible preparation for graduate studies or the workplace.

Environmental Science is interdisciplinary because environmental issues are interdisciplinary. Want an example? Think of the Gulf oil spill! How will this environmental change proceed, how will it affect organisms and ecosystems, and how do these changes affect human populations? Right now biologists, chemists, and geologists are working together with a broad range of professionals in engineering, economics, and policy to understand and manage this far-reaching problem.
