Overview

Environmental biologists are usually persons who are curious about how nature works, enjoy solving problems, and are deeply committed both to solving pressing environmental problems and helping society. Most environmental biologists enjoy the outdoors, and conduct research both outdoors and in the laboratory as they attempt to answer questions concerning how nature works. Many environmental biologists teach at universities, colleges and in high schools, museums, and nature centers. Others use ecological knowledge to solve environmental problems and to manage natural resources. Still others work as advisors concerning environmental issues to elected officials, politicians, and other policy makers.

Environmental Biology program of Millersville University of Pennsylvania has a curriculum that is designed to be rigorous and challenging and to provide both depth of knowledge in environmental biology as well a solid, broad background in the breadth of biology. Our philosophy is that our students should first be a biologist and then specialists within biological science. Because biology is a science that is built on our understanding of the physical world as revealed by the physical sciences, this program like our Biology programs requires extensive coursework in Chemistry, Physics, and Mathematics.

Careers

Our environmental biology graduates have careers in government and the private sector in Maine to Florida as well as Michigan, Texas, California, Washington, Hawaii, and Colorado. A number have obtained Ph.D.s from prestigious graduate programs in ecology such as Rutgers, Colorado State, Montana, North Carolina State, and Wake Forest University and work in academia, government, or in industry.

Our environmental biology graduates work as lab and field technicians, outdoor educators, park naturalists, science specialists, program scientists, environmental consultants, natural resource managers, aquatic biologists, environmental planners, wildlife managers, wetlands scientists, foresters, and professors.
