Students engage in elective and capstone courses involving practical aspects of sustainable resource management, policy, society and business.

The Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies provides students with a strong background in the natural sciences as preparation for technical work in the environmental field. This program is particularly strong in its chemistry and biology requirements. Students are also required to take courses in environmental economics, policy and ethics. 

The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Engineering program combines the sub-disciplines of Civil Engineering with the core subjects of the engineering program. The technical interdisciplinary courses are in the areas of biology, geology, chemistry, ecology, atmospheric sciences, geotechnical engineering, urban planning, water resources engineering, pollution prevention and waste management.  

The Undergraduate Certificate in Environmental Studies provides students with the unique perspective of interdisciplinary environmental education to enrich and expand the breadth of their primary training.
