Environmental Sciences is a multidisciplinary domain that examines how natural processes influence our planet's ecosystems. The Department of Environmental Sciences provides research opportunities and academic programs covering Ecology, Geoscience, Hydrology, and Atmospheric Science. By combining these Earth sciences and ecological studies under one department, students gain a comprehensive perspective on environmental challenges and scientific principles. Faculty and student research, whether specialized or cross-disciplinary, tackles pressing scientific questions. Students can pursue either a Bachelor of Science (BS) or Bachelor of Arts (BA), with a curriculum adaptable to diverse objectives, such as:
preparing for advanced scientific studies, including specialized or interdisciplinary paths,
building a strong scientific foundation for professional programs like law, medicine, business, or environmental engineering,
establishing a core discipline as part of a well-rounded liberal arts education, and
qualifying for entry-level roles in sectors like environmental consulting, government agencies, or regulatory bodies.

Typically, the most important factor in the admission evaluation process is demonstrated academic achievement in a challenging secondary school program.
The admission committee looks for applicants who have completed the most rigorous academic courses available in their secondary schools and recommends that prospective students should exceed minimum high school graduation requirements. We require an official transcript. The secondary program should include no fewer than 16 academic courses and must include the following courses:
English 4 units
Mathematics 4 units
Foreign Language 2 units
Science (from among biology, chemistry, and physics) 2 units (*)
Social Studies 1 unit
A TOEFL or IELTS score should not be more than two years old. Depending on the school, most admitted graduate students attain a minimum total score of 90 on the internet-based (iBT) TOEFL (including sectional minimums of 22 in speaking, 22 in writing, 23 in reading and 23 in listening). The minimum paper-based TOEFL score requirement is usually 600, and the minimum IELTS score requirement is 7.0.
