Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science

The Environmental Science curriculum prepares students for entry-level positions with environmental firms, industry or government agencies that require know-ledge of environmental principles and methodology, as well as for entry into graduate environmental programs. In addition to providing students with a solid grounding in basic principles, the curriculum also exposes them to the application of those principles in an intern program.

Take one of Biology 472, 491, 492 or Political Science 471 (a maximum of four credits can be applied to major; all additional credits will be considered free elective credits); and at least seven additional credits from Biology 235, 318, 324-324L, 331, 332, 347, or 362.
