Overview

The degree in Environmental Studies provides scientific training for environment-related occupations, including environmental sciences per se as well as peripheral fields such as Law and Medicine. Environmental Science covers a vast sweep of applied Earth science.

Students, therefore, have considerable flexibility in tailoring the major to their individual interests while pursuing a common core of supporting math and science.

By taking courses from four out of seven subdisciplinary groups, a wide variety of approaches to environmental science can be accommodated, including preparation for graduate study in the subdisciplines.

Students pursuing this degree are strongly encouraged to consult the Environmental Science undergraduate advisor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at an early stage in their program in order to design their curriculum in the disciplinary groups. All majors are encouraged to pursue an undergraduate thesis (493 and 495) in collaboration with a faculty advisor.

Career Opportunities

Students who major in environmental science may be inclined to pursue graduate degrees in environmental science and eventually find careers in academia as researchers or instructors.

Others may prefer to find work outside of academia, either directly after graduation or after obtaining a professional degree. Undergraduate study in environmental science can prepare students for attending professional programs in law, public administration, the health sciences, or business; or for entry into any field of work that makes use of people skills, an understanding of the scientific method, and the ability to read and write analytically.

Environmental science majors may find themselves working in research or advisory positions for government agencies, businesses, or non-profit organizations.
