• Balancing human needs with the preservation of a functional biosphere is an important responsibility for our future. To minimize human impact and move toward more sustainable practices, we must understand the causes of environmental change and the complex interactions within ecosystems, and design effective strategies for restoration.
  • To address these issues, our curriculum covers environmental monitoring, assessment, regulations, policy implementation, and science application in restoration activities.
  • Students will:
    • explain the interdisciplinary nature and complexities of environmental issues
    • apply the scientific method to environmental issues
    • skillfully communicate knowledge of environmental science
    • demonstrate knowledge of environmental conditions so as to promote active participation and social justice
