Introduction
Students will develop a strong foundation in the sciences with courses in environmental science, ecology, geology, biology and chemistry. Specialized courses in environmental science technology and environmental issues emphasize scientific project management skills and career pathways for environmental scientists. In addition to meeting other basic General Education requirements typical of the first two years of a B.S. degree, specialized environmental coursework will provide students with a skill set useful in the pursuit of their future employment in environmental engineering and remediation, resource management, or wastewater/drinking water treatment industries.
