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 Natural Science Option 

As a general curriculum emphasizing the natural sciences, this option is suitable for students wishing to maintain a broad range of choices in technically oriented environmental professions such as air and water pollution control, hazardous materials management, public health, natural resource management, and environmental impact analysis.
