Environmental Science and Sustainability Major B.S.

The Environmental Science and Sustainability B.S. degree is a multi-disciplinary program that provides scientific knowledge of the natural world, the living organisms that inhabit it, and social sciences at the core of sustainability.

Students learn the scientific principles that underlie environmental issues, the effects of human actions, and the public policies and regulations that influence those actions.

Careers with an Environmental Science and Sustainability Degree

Students who pursue this degree will be prepared for careers in environmental resource management, governmental and non-governmental agencies, and companies committed to being socially responsible, plus a wide range of roles in science and public policy.

Besides providing core science skills, the multi-disciplinary focus of the program offers flexibility in exploring sustainable initiatives in business and entrepreneurship. And it prepares students for graduate studies, particularly in areas related to environmental law or the Master of Science in Environmental Studies at 帝王会所.
