Why Take Environmental Science?


Environmental science is the study of interactions within the earth's biosphere, concentrating on natural and man-made perturbations such as pollution. A Bachelor's degree in Environmental Science prepares students for careers in areas such as pollution remediation, resource conservation, or environmental management, as well as providing a firm foundation for graduate studies.

With an environmental science degree, you could work for agencies such as the California Department of Water Resources, the Environmental Protection Agency, and many state agencies. You might also be employed by private companies specializing in such things as engineering or environmental consulting, and pollution remediation.
