A brief description of the undergraduate degree program (2nd program):
All the environmental degrees at NAU are run through the School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability. We have 23 tenured or full-time faculty in SESES, some of whom split their time between SESES and another academic program (e.g. Biology, Geology, Political Science), but some of whom are full time in environmental sciences/studies. All our major courses are taught by full-time, tenure-track faculty members. We view our degree programs as pre-professional in nature. We require an internship, research project, or field experience for all our majors. These degrees provide a broad-based and rigorous background in interdisciplinary approaches to understanding environmental processes. The environmental sciences degree uses a set of science core courses and a concentration in a natural science or social science discipline to help students develop a science-based approach to the environment and sustainability.
