Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Science
Environmental Science is an academic discipline that incorporates multiple fields
of scientific study — such as physics, biology, geology, geography, and chemistry
— in order to study the environment and find solutions to environmental problems.
About This Program
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Science emphasizes rigorous academic course work, student involvement in faculty research, and collaborative efforts with other universities, community/junior colleges, national laboratories, regulatory agencies, corporate environmental contractors, utilities, and municipalities.

You will experience state-of-the-art research facilities housed in approximately 6,000
square feet of space in the Humphries Science Research Center. Instruments available
to both faculty and students in this facility include ICP/OES, GC/MS, HPLC, AA, and
high resolution gamma-ray spectroscopy with fiber optic access to the internet. In
addition, the School houses a GIS computer laboratory with high performance computers
and high speed internet access. Laboratory equipment is continuously upgraded and
replaced to maintain our cutting-edge status.
The School offers eligible students support through scholarships and work-study assistantships.
Students also have opportunities for internships in industry, state, and federal laboratories.
