Here, you will find a wide range of integrated courses that address the scientific aspect of key environmental problems at the intersection of?biology,?chemistry,?physics?and the?geosciences. With related courses in?engineering?and?environmental policy, you will learn to appreciate the challenge of finding environmental solutions that will work in the modern world. Areas of concentration include: ecology; environmental geosciences; energy and environmental physics; and environmental engineering and technology.

All students take a common introductory course, a core of between eight and 11 required courses, and four-to-six courses that define an area of concentration. During the senior year, students typically complete two terms of?independent research?and participate in a senior seminar. Our students also regularly take part in Union?s annual campus-wide research day, the?Steinmetz Symposium, through oral and poster presentations.
