BACBSE - Environmental Studies

The Bachelor of Science Degree in Environmental Studies is for students seeking rigorous multidisciplinary exploration of the natural systems and processes of the Earth and the role of humans who both depend on and influence these systems and processes. With a strong foundation in the natural sciences and a broad understanding of the policy implications of environmental science, students with this degree will be well prepared for graduate study in this field and for employment with both public agencies and private businesses working toward a more sustainable future. Students will become well informed about natural history and ecology as a context in which to embed their scientific study. Students will also consider ethics and policy as they build strong, meaningful applications for scientific endeavors. Some required courses may be gained through EcoLeague and CIEL exchanges or transfer courses. Students pursuing a BS in Environmental Studies will be able to advance scientific understanding and apply science to developing solutions to complex environmental challenges.
