To help reach these objectives, the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences offers an interdisciplinary approach to environmental problem solving. As an Environmental Sciences major, a student completes course work in four general areas:

  • OSU's general education courses (the baccalaureate core)
  • Basic science and math
  • Environmental sciences and humanities core
  • A specialization area

In addition, each student completes a minimum of 3 credits of experiential learning as an internship, research, study abroad, or field course. The BS degree in Environmental Sciences provides excellent training for a variety of careers—including work with federal, state, and local agencies, industry, non-profits, and education—or for graduate school. Students can pursue the BS degree either at the Corvallis campus or online through OSU Ecampus.
