Career Options

The Environmental Sciences degree builds on the interdisciplinary strengths in the natural and social sciences. Students learn broadly about environmental sciences from a variety of perspectives, while deeply exploring one area of specialization. Experiential learning is a key part of the degree program since participating in research or an internship provides an opportunity to actively engage in the field of environmental sciences outside the classroom.
