Overview

The research endeavors of both faculty and graduate students, in the Environmental Sciences program at University of Virginia whether disciplinary or interdisciplinary, deal largely with problems of fundamental scientific interest.

Research fields include environmental biogeochemistry, coastal processes, hydrogeology, catchment hydrology, microbial ecology, wetlands ecology, terrestrial ecology, boundary-layer meteorology, atmospheric chemistry, and climatology. Initiatives involving groups of faculty in contaminant hydrogeology, global environmental change, and coastal ecosystems encompass a number of graduate research opportunities.

Key Facts

Because this is a coursework-intensive program, it is essential that work toward the major be initiated immediately upon entry to UVa. Occasionally students enroll in the B.A. and decide in the 3rd or 4th year to switch to the B.S. In many cases this is difficult to accomplish because of the related science credits. It is much easier for students who are uncertain of their career path to start working toward the B.S., as it is very easy to switch to the B.A. later.
