The environmental science program is designed to prepare students to address the integral relationship between humankind and the environment. Students in the environmental science program gain a strong foundation of life, physical, and mathematical sciences as they relate to the environment. Building on that foundation, specialized elective courses integrate scientific knowledge and skills with knowledge of the constructs of human systems such as business, government, and community. As a result, graduates of the program are prepared to approach and solve environmental problems from a variety of perspectives.
With a degree in environmental science, graduates are prepared to work in a vast array of careers, including ecology, environmental monitoring and analysis, environmental education, wildlife and ecology management, environmental research, marine science, and other areas.
Students receiving their bachelor’ s degree in environmental science may also continue on to receive their Master of Arts in Teaching( M. A. T.) at Stevenson in either the traditional or combined B. S. to M. A. T. option.
