Environmental Science

Screen Shot 2014-04-04 at 3.24.27 PM
The need to understand the environment and to address environmental problems requires a multidisciplinary approach that encompasses several academic fields like biology, chemistry, physics, and geology. Here, the focus is on waste management, water management, and environmental health and safety.

For more about our graduation rates, the median debt of students who completed the program, and other important information, please visit the gainful employment disclosure page.
