An Environmental Science major draws on biology, chemistry, geology, atmospheric science, and policy. Programs typically require a strong natural-science core plus environmental-specific coursework in ecology, climate science, hydrology, environmental chemistry, GIS, and environmental policy. Many programs include a field-experience component (forest, wetland, marine, or urban field stations).

Graduates work in environmental consulting, federal and state agencies (EPA, USGS, NOAA, state DEPs), nonprofits, sustainability roles in industry, and graduate research. The major pairs well with a minor in GIS, Public Policy, or Economics.
