Environmental Sciences

Happy Valentine's Day, Everyone! In celebration of this hallmark holiday, our topic today seems to be fitting. How so you may ask?


Environmental Science is the study of the relationship between humans, society, and our environment. It studies worldly issues such as pollution or global warming, and looks for solutions as to how to preserve our beloved home here on Earth. Topics of "going green", being "Eco-friendly", and "sustainability" have hit areas from college campuses to car industries. We all have our part in cleaning up our mess, but also finding solutions to prevent problems for the future. Environmental Science looks at all of that! Environmental Scientists also work in, for, and with many different types of companies to ensure our limited resources are valued.

Most environmental science majors must have an interest in problem solving, research, mathematics; enjoy challenges, and have a love for the natural sciences. They also may have a very strong interest or even love for wanting to save our planet, recycling, and alternative methods of living.
