Environmental Science (ENVS)

Environmental Science is an interdisciplinary major which requires advanced course work in the areas of biology, geology, and chemistry. The Environmental Science program has several objectives: a) to provide the student with a solid science foundation balanced with a liberal arts education; b) to provide a foundation in the specifics, theory, and concepts of environmental science as a prerequisite for post-graduate study, or for positions in government service and industry; c) to develop research skills in the student; and d) to develop in the student a contemporary environmental ethic based on a scientific understanding of natural processes.

A key component of the Environmental Science major is the requirement to complete independent research by taking BIOL 428, GEOL 428, or ENVS 428 under the supervision of an appropriate faculty member. The products of this research (at the minimum a written report, but in some cases including an oral presentation) not only arm the student with evidence that the major's objectives have been accomplished, but also will serve as a primary vehicle for assessment of the major.
