Students study a cross-section of sciences as they prepare for careers in pharmacy, toxicology and environmental chemistry. All students design and conduct an independent research project, in cooperation with faculty in the School of Natural Sciences and the School of Pharmacy.

Students who complete environmental science program with an emphasis on chemistry and toxicology have the necessary prerequisites to apply to Pacific?s School of Pharmacy and are sought by graduate programs in toxicology and chemistry.

Many go on to become pharmacists. Others go on to work for government agencies ? such as the Environmental Protection Agency and other monitoring agencies ? or environmental consulting and cleanup firms as well as other types of private-sector employers.
