Environmental sciences is the interdisciplinary study of natural processes and human impacts in the atmosphere, aquatic systems, and soils. The course of study is built on a foundation of biology, chemistry, physics, and mathematics. You will also complete a series of environmental sciences courses that demonstrate the application of basic science principles to the solution of environmental problems. Specialization in either of the environmental sciences options (environmental sciences or applied environmental sciences) prepares you for a career in environmental consulting, regulatory agencies, industry, legal and science policy professions, education, and graduate study in related fields.
