• As human populations continue to grow, so do concerns about the effects of humans on ecosystems and how ecosystems and the built environment affect human health and well-being. The Environmental Science & Technology undergraduate major trains students in not only understanding the science behind impacts to ecosystems and human health, but also how to develop solutions addressing these impacts.
  • The major is taught by a group of outstanding faculty with a rich background in the environmental science and engineering who are as comfortable lecturing in a classroom as they are leading students through wetlands, wastewater treatment plants, and woods.
  • In today’s economy there are many career options for graduates from the ENST major, including careers in government agencies, environmental consulting firms, “green” industries, and non-governmental organizations. Furthermore, the ENST major includes a strong science and math foundation that prepares students for study in a wide range of graduate programs. Clearly, there is great need for students with strong, science-based knowledge of the environment and the ENST major directly addresses that need.
