Ringkasan program

This program is a interdisciplinary, emphasizing an integrated approach to knowledge in the field. Because the study of environmental problems requires a sound understanding of scientific principles, the environmental science major is grounded in the natural sciences and mathematics. The curriculum includes a social science component, enabling students to gain an understanding of environmental economic and policy issues. Field experiences, internships and practicum’s are emphasized. This major helps to develop the following skills and abilities: 1) formulate and interpret models that describe environmental processes; 2) facility with laboratory and field instrumentation, software for statistical analysis and modeling, taxonomic keys, and other practical skills; 3) design and implement research strategies and procedures to collect, organize, evaluate, and interpret data that characterize environmental systems; 4) characterize and analyze human impacts on the environment; 5) design and evaluate strategies, technologies and methods for remediation of degraded environments; 6) design and evaluate strategies for sustainable management of environmental systems; and 7) access and manage data resources applicable to environmental processes and management. This major is designed for students who are seriously interested in environmental concerns and studies. Students who plan to pursue this major should emphasize science and mathematics in their course work. Courses in biology, chemistry, earth science, physics, and mathematics provide the needed background.
