The most urgent global challenges we face today include climate change, biodiversity loss, extreme weather patterns, pollution, and the overconsumption of Earth's finite resources. If you're captivated by understanding how human actions influence our world and driven to build a greener tomorrow, the Environmental and Sustainability Science program offers the perfect path.
By choosing among three specialized tracks (Earth Systems and Climate Science, Environmental Biology, or Environmental Chemistry), you'll develop expertise in analyzing humanity's effects on natural systems, ecological communities, species populations, and geological formations through a focused scientific lens.
All students complete foundational coursework in geography, geology, biology, and chemistry to build essential competencies for environmental careers or advanced study. Throughout the program, you will: Explore Earth's physical and chemical formation processes. Investigate biodiversity patterns and conservation strategies. Examine climate change drivers and pollution impacts. Master experimental design and data analysis techniques. Develop technical proficiency in GIS and remote sensing technologies. Formulate science-based environmental policies and wildlife protection strategies
The program concludes with an integrative capstone experience, where interdisciplinary student teams apply their collective knowledge to assess real-world environmental challenges.
Environmental Chemistry
Housed within the Chemistry and Biochemistry Department, this concentration deepens your understanding of environmental chemical processes, quantitative analysis methods, and molecular-level (bio)chemical interactions. You'll receive comprehensive analytical chemistry training to perform precise environmental evaluations.
