The mission of the Environmental Sciences program is to provide graduates with qualifications for meaningful employment in the ever-expanding environmental field. Through a holistic approach to environmental science, the program prepares students to deal with a wide range of environmental concerns as they receive on-the-job training and perform tasks specific to their professions. The overall organization of the program reflects this philosophy with a broad core curriculum, a concentration area and the opportunity to complete a senior research project that offers advanced, hands-on experience. Environmental Sciences majors may choose one of the following options:

• a concentration in biology and ecosystems
• a concentration in environmental chemistry and analysis
• a double concentration in any two of the above areas
