Interdisciplinary nature:
Environmental problems are interdisciplinary in nature. Thus,
the foundation of our program is coursework in environmental
science, as well as biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics,
and statistics. We build on this foundation in our upper level
environmental science courses by showing how to study and
solve environmental problems using concepts and tools from
the more traditional science disciplines. We balance theory
and practice, and emphasize hands-on work in the laboratory
and field. Our courses include group and individual projects,
and integrate writing and math skills. Internships are also
an important part of our program.
There are three concentrations to choose from within the
Environmental Science and Technology degree.
