The unsustainable use of Earth's natural resources poses significant challenges. Contamination of air, water, and land. Ecosystem deterioration. Regional overcrowding. Economic hardship. Increasing reliance on finite natural assets. As an Environmental Science major at Lewis University, you'll examine the interplay between Earth's biological, chemical, and physical systems - gaining insight into planetary mechanisms, human-environment connections, and methods for creating solutions that reduce ecological disruption while promoting sustainable natural systems.
After completing your degree, you'll be prepared to immediately begin work as an Environmental Scientist with conservation organizations or environmental regulatory bodies, conducting research in fields like wildlife conservation, land management, aquatic sciences, and climate studies. Additionally, numerous students discover a strong interest in pursuing higher education in specialized areas such as spatial mapping technology, ecosystem science, wildlife preservation, resource stewardship, environmental biology, or arboriculture, often continuing directly to postgraduate studies after Lewis.
