Environmental Science

Students who desire to focus on living organisms and their relationship to the earth can do so with the biology track. You will learn to classify plant species, assess integrity of ecological systems, in courses such as taxonomy, anatomy, systems ecology, vertebrate natural history. Learn to develop sustainable food systems with courses in sustainable agriculture and food systems.

For students interested in investigating the earth’s physical structure and substance, the geology track is a good fit. You will inspect the processes that act upon the earth and how to best preserve natural resources through courses on soil science, earth materials, geomorphology, hydrology, water resources, and resource planning.

Environmental science can also be a beneficial supplement to another primary major, making your degree eco-friendlier. The Environmental Science minor is designed for any other student who wishes to broaden their understanding of environmental concerns.
