Environmental & Soil Sciences (BS)
University of Tennessee at Knoxville
Description
Environmental scientists study land, soil, and water resources, and their role in natural and managed ecosystems, often working to remove the hazards that affect people, wildlife, and their environments. Understanding the issues involved in protecting the environment—degradation, conservation, recycling, climate change, and renewal energy—is central to the work of environmental scientists. This is the training provided in the Environmental Sciences concentration of the Environmental and Soil Sciences major.
