Overview

At a time when environmental crises related to climate change and resource extraction are on the forefront of current events, we need as many environmental experts as possible to help preserve and better the Earth for future generations.

The Enviromental Science program at Manhattan College focuses on the complex interrelationship among fields that impact environmental ideas. These include:

  • science
  • politics
  • economics
  • ethics
  • aesthetics

It broadens both science and non-science majors’ environmental education in ways that can help everyone prepare for future careers in the fields of environmental policy or education. For students who are planning careers in science or engineering, the program provides crucial background for understanding the social contexts in which their work will take place.
