A brief description of the undergraduate degree program:
Address the complex environmental challenges of our time.
Whether you want to tackle the effects of climate change, manage forests, or investigate water quality, LVC's environmental science major will give you the technical skills and broad knowledge you'll need.
You'll gain a foundation in biology, ecology, and Geosystems and become an excellent practicing scientist or researcher. And you'll develop the critical thinking and presentation skills crucial for communicating your findings to the public, clients, and employers.
We also want you to get out into the world you study. Environmental science majors spend an extensive amount of time in the field, so you can learn how to design experiments, collaborate with other scientists, and identify and handle species.
At LVC, we have rich fieldwork opportunities within walking distance of campus, including a 20-acre eastern deciduous forest, wetlands, and a campus pond. Our Neidig-Garber Science Center houses research-level instrumentation and labs you can access starting in your freshman year.
