Overview

If you want to work with people to solve environmental problems — and not spend all your time in a research lab — the Environmental Studies program of The University of Toledo is for you.

Undergraduates in environmental studies study science. But they focus more on social sciences and humanities — everything from environmental politics and geography to economics. They take fewer advanced math and science courses than UToledo’s environmental science majors.

Toledo is an urban, port city with diverse ecosystems (wetlands, savannahs, woodlands) and a location near Lake Erie, one of the Great Lakes and the 13th largest lake in the world. This perfect natural laboratory allows UToledo environmental studies majors to travel throughout the region and study how humans interact with the environment.

Environmental Studies Bachelor's Degree Highlights

A broad environmental education. Employers in this rapidly growing field want well-rounded employees who understand all facets of environmental issues. UToledo environmental studies students are uniquely qualified. They know the science, but they’ve also focused on liberal arts courses — environmental economics, geography, political science, philosophy and more.

Learn by doing. Our focus is on getting your hands dirty in the field through:

Local and international field work. UToledo students study throughout the U.S., Canada, Trinidad, the Bahamas and Costa Rica. The Toledo area also is a rich, natural laboratory. It has unique, diverse, natural habitats and landforms, as well as agricultural, urban and natural ecosystems.

Research in plant ecology and physiology in our on-campus greenhouse, campus garden and nearby arboretum.

A required, 100-hour internship.
