The BS in environmental science program deals with the interaction of humans and their environment from the primary perspective of the natural sciences. The program includes basic courses in the natural sciences and more advanced courses relating the natural sciences to environmental concerns. The program is structured so that the student gains a holistic perspective on the environment. The program's capstone course is Senior Practicum in which students use their training in a real case study to broaden their understanding of a specific environmental problem.
