Overview

At the Environmental Studies program offered by the University of Cincinnati, you will get a strong foundation in sciences such as biology, chemistry and geology; social sciences such as communication and public policy; all framed within humanities like history, ethics, and scientific writing. And you will take what you learn into the field using the latest research technology and UC’s state-of-the-art labs, which give UC distinction as a top research institution as ranked by the Carnegie Foundation.

UC leads the way in environmental studies and you will, too. Environmental problems require creative solutions, imagination and talent. If you have strong critical-thinking skills and a passion for the environment, UC is the place for you. Environmental studies graduates have pursued diverse careers as consultants, lab analysts, ecologists, land managers and park naturalists. We also enjoy a close relationship with the nearby Cincinnati Zoo and Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), where students can enhance their coursework with research experience and/or internships.

Success

The keys to success in environmental studies are both a curiosity about and a passion for the natural world. The complex nature of environmental issues and solutions also requires creativity in problem-solving, flexibility, imagination and a talent for both written and oral communication. Successful students have strong analytical and critical thinking skills and an interest in the sciences that form the foundation of UC’s approach to environmental studies.

Career

Graduates of environmental studies may choose to pursue professional careers after the BS or to continue their studies in either graduate schools (MAs or PhDs in fields such as biology, ecology or environmental science/studies) or professional schools (e.g., law school, education, or medicine).
