Background
This program is an interdisciplinary study of the biological, physical, and social sciences, and their application to environmental concerns. These applications are designed to improve the current and future welfare of the human race with environmental policies based on scientific principles and in accordance with the true benefits and costs as evaluated by an informed society.Since this major is interdisciplinary and science-oriented, the student will take basic courses in biology, chemistry, math, physics, statistics, and several social sciences. The environmental science undergraduate major is directly supported by faculty from the departments of Agricultural Economics, Entomology and Plant Pathology, Forestry, Horticulture and Landscape Architecture, and Plant and Soil Sciences. The major and its students also benefit from working in and out of the classroom and laboratory with faculty who are conducting cutting-edge research involving environmental problems.
