BA in Environmental Science in Gainesville United States | University of Florida

The Environmental Science bachelor's program offers a robust, well-rounded curriculum. Faculty from across our university have pinpointed essential subjects to equip students for environmental careers or graduate studies in fields like anthropology, biology, entomology, environmental engineering, fisheries, forestry, geography, landscape architecture, political science, resource economics, soil science, urban planning, wildlife conservation, or professional programs in business, education, journalism, or environmental law. While most students pursue the Bachelor of Science option, others choose the Bachelor of Arts path, which has reduced requirements in physics, chemistry, and math before upper-level courses. The initial two years establish fundamental knowledge through core classes. Essential preparation includes natural science courses (physics, chemistry, biology) with lab components, along with microeconomics and macroeconomics to comprehend economic systems. Foundational statistics teaches data analysis skills, while introductory calculus provides tools for studying ecological change dynamics.
