Description
Our Environmental Science major combines courses from geology, biology, chemistry and physics to immerse students in interdisciplinary approaches to scientific understanding of our environment. The complexity of questions around climate change, water quality, resource extraction, energy and food production, or rising ocean temperatures demands a knowledge not of one specific field of science, but a blend of them all. This program sets students on the path to discovering solutions through scientific inquiry and methodology.
