Awareness of the importance of preserving and/or restoring environmental quality has pervaded all aspects of the public and private sectors, both at the local and international levels. The Environmental Sciences program is designed to prepare individuals for careers in business, industry, or government; or to pursue graduate studies in environmentally-related science, law, public health, or business. The curriculum provides a broad scope of instruction which enables students to explore various disciplines and professions involved with environmental issues.

We offer B.S. and B.A. degrees in Environmental Sciences with options in Environmental Toxicology and Natural Science. We also offer a minor in Environmental Sciences, and opportunities to take specialized coursework for career and educational objectives, to participate in internships, and to conduct undergraduate research.

The Toxicology Option?

As a curriculum that emphasizes the chemistry and biochemistry of toxic substances in the environment, this option prepares students for careers dealing with the control of toxics in the environmental media of air, water, soil, and ecosystems and in such related fields as public health and industrial hygiene.?
