Career and Placement after Course

Most Environmental Sciences majors concentrate their program in one or two disciplines with future study in professional or graduate programs in mind. Others use the breadth and interdisciplinary nature of the curriculum to prepare for careers in science writing and methods, in teaching, or in environmental management and other similar careers. The flexibilty and diversity of our offerings thus provide a wide array of strategies while simultaneously completing the requirements for the major.

Some examples of Environmental Sciences-related careers of past majors include:

Atmospheric Sciences: Weather and climate forecasting, air quality modelling and management, bioclimatology and agricultural management, research consulting in meteorology and climatology.
Geosciences: Coastal processes consulting, engineering geology, land use planning and management, groundwater pollution research and consulting, sedimentary process modeling.
Ecology: Aquatic ecology and fisheries consulting, forestry and agricultural management, park and recreation planning and management, resource conservation, toxic soil and water pollution research.
Hydrology: Groundwater management, flood and surface water management and consulting, water pollution research and regulation, water project economics, hydraulic modeling and analysis.
