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

The Environmental Science bachelor's program offers a robust, well-rounded curriculum. Faculty across our campus have pinpointed key study areas 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 and water science, urban planning, wildlife, or professional programs in business, education, journalism, or environmental law. While most students pursue the Bachelor of Science path, others opt for the Bachelor of Arts, which has reduced requirements in physics, chemistry, and math before upper-level courses. The initial two years establish a foundational knowledge base. Essential coursework includes natural sciences (physics, chemistry, biology) with lab components, along with microeconomics and macroeconomics to grasp economic systems. Introductory statistics teaches data analysis skills, while calculus fundamentals prepare students for studying ecological change dynamics.
