Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences
The environmental science major is an extended major (no minor required) designed as an entry-level major for MSCD students as well as for students transferring at the junior level from the community colleges with backgrounds in hazardous materials or water quality. Students may choose from six options (concentrations) depending on their areas of interest.
The multidisciplinary concentration provides students with a broad-based environmental science background, whereas the concentrations in ecological restoration, environmental chemistry, and water quality are more specialized. The environmental science option for secondary science teacher licensure is the remaining concentration available to students. All concentrations, except for environmental science for teacher licensure, require a unified core.
