Overview

There is a large (and increasing) demand for scientists with quantitative, interdisciplinary training in environmental sciences to address, mitigate, and manage many complex environmental problems facing society. We work very closely with the Environmental Studies Program to provide a wide selection of courses as well as high-quality internships and field experiences.

Later on in your academic career, you will find that our undergraduate program feeds seamlessly into our graduate degrees (M.S. and Ph.D.) in Evolution, Ecology, and Behavior. As part of the environmental Geosciences program, you are part of a small, tight–knit group that has immediate access to advisors, research opportunities, and many environmental clubs and organizations.

Key facts about the Environmental Geosciences programme

The Environmental Geosciences program, at the University at Buffalo, consists primarily of courses that involve a mixture of lectures and labs. While 100-level courses typically have class sizes of greater than 200 students, upper-level courses often have class sizes of less than 30. Some lower-level courses can be taken online, but most courses require in-person instruction. Independent studies and internships are available and are encouraged for all students in their Junior and Senior year.

EGS graduates will boast many skills ranging from computer and analytical lab techniques to experiential field research methods. Our curriculum will prepare you for graduate school or for entry level positions in the environmental sciences with employers such as The National Park Service, New York Department of Environmental Conservation, Environmental Protection Agency, as well as private consulting firms.
