Environmental Science is a science-oriented curriculum that provides a strong, broad background in the
natural sciences. The plan of study emphasizes land use problems and their impacts on long-term use and
productivity as well as on surface and subsurface water resources. To facilitate this, the student is directed
into a core of courses that emphasize the soil and plant sciences.

Directed technical electives allow the student to concentrate in an area of their interest.
This concentration will introduce students to natural resouce problems and their management, including:
- Soil and water conservation issues
- Land use problems
- Waste disposal, and
- Reclamation of disturbed lands
Other areas of interest can be addressed through the appropriate selection of technical
electives in the program.

Students in Environmental Science gain the practical knowledge necessary to compete for
career opportunities in government, environmental and consulting firms, public health services,
environmental research laboratories, and agricultural production, while also gaining the theoretical
training necessary for continuing on for advanced degrees in a number of environmentally-related fields.
