The School of the Environment offers a BS in Earth and Environmental Sciences with majors in: Earth Sciences, Environmental and Ecosystem Sciences, Forestry, and Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Sciences. Graduates of the School of the Environment are concerned with the diverse environmental challenges confronting the future of all life on Earth. Students learn to communicate and use critical thinking and creative problem solving to address pressing issues confronting global ecology and sustainability on a dynamic and changing Earth. Students apply scientific methods, quantitative and symbolic reasoning, and decision-making processes as individuals or teams to explore complex scientific and environmental issues and analyze problems in both the natural and social sciences. We emphasize realistic experiential education (e.g., hands-on labs, field trips and camps) to prepare students for graduate studies or employment in the fields of natural resources, environmental science or earth sciences. Graduates achieve expertise in a professional specialty and develop the technical skills and a deeper understanding of the science and environmental management needed to succeed in a global society increasingly dependent on developing a sustainable future. Earth Sciences Major - Earth Science is the study of the Earth, its composition, processes, structure, origin and evolution. Virtually every aspect of modern life is in some way dependent on the science of geology. The geologic record provides the context for understanding episodes of past rapid global change. It is also the geologistâ€™s job to evaluate groundwater quality and quantity for drinking water supply, discover new reserves of energy and raw materials, assess geologic hazards in land-use planning and unravel the mechanisms of volcanism, earthquakes, plate tectonics and the origins of life. Environmental and Ecosystem Sciences Major - The Environmental and Ecosystem Sciences major is offered for students interested in biological, physical, or socioeconomic aspects of environmental and natural sciences. This is the most flexible of our majors, offering exceptional opportunities for tailoring of courses to match individual student interests and needs within the realm of environmental and ecosystem sciences. Forestry Major - The Forestry Major is designed to provide students the educational basis for successfully pursuing a professional career in forestry. Each forestry student, in addition to completing the university UCORE requirements, basic science requirements, the School of the Environment environmental common core takes a block of forestry classes in such areas as forest measurements, sampling, remote sensing, geographic information systems, plant ecology and silviculture. Wildlife Ecology and Conservation Major - The Wildlife Ecology and Conservation major provides students with a basic background in the sciences plus additional courses emphasizing wildlife ecology and management of wildlife habitats and populations. Students are prepared to pursue a variety of careers focusing on wildlife biology and wildlife management.
