Overview

Key Features

In the Environmental Science and Policy undergraduate bachelor's degree program from Clarkson University, you will gain insight into most aspects of the human world, from science to technology, and the environment with hands-on learning that includes assisting the faculty with research projects and your independent projects. Coursework is challenging but flexible and allows you freedom in emphasizing an environmental area of interest. The curriculum, offered through our Institute for a Sustainable Environment, is also well-suited as a preparatory degree if you are interested in pursuing a degree in the health sciences, including medicine, dentistry or veterinary science.
