Environmental science is a multidisciplinary area that examines how biological, chemical, and physical processes interact to shape our natural world. Within the soil and watersheds specialization, learners explore topics related to soil vitality, water purity, and watershed stewardship. The program highlights connections between living organisms, earth systems, water cycles, and nutrient processes, equipping students with knowledge to promote more sustainable environmental practices.
The University of New Hampshire stands at the forefront of environmental research concerning soils and watersheds. Students leverage extensive faculty knowledge across diverse domains including nutrient cycling, environmental chemistry, ecosystem studies, climate change, water systems, plant ecology, pedology, and aquatic resource conservation. Early opportunities abound for undergraduates, with access to research internships and faculty laboratories. Nearby watershed monitoring projects provide ample field study and research possibilities. Graduates emerge with robust skillsets suited for careers in government agencies, environmental consulting, research institutions, or advanced academic pursuits in graduate programs.
Each student must have their official high school diploma or general equivalency diploma.
