Students in the environmental science program will gain a broad perspective in the physical and life sciences as related to environmental applications and issues. Coupled with an appropriate minor, graduates of this interdisciplinary program will be prepared for careers in environmental areas such as education, ecology, conservation, consulting, monitoring, communication, illustration, and health sciences.

The Bachelor of Arts Degree in Environmental Science is designed for students who plan to seek employment in an environmentally related vocation immediately upon graduation. It is not intended to prepare the student for further graduate studies in the life or physical sciences or as preparation for medical, dental, or veterinary programs.
