Environmental Science/Studies - Nova Southeastern University

Environmental Science/Studies from Nova Southeastern University is a Campus Bachelor Enviroment degree that prepares you for a Science career. Students who wish to major in environmental science /studies must select one of two degree tracks. The program is designed so students will share a common set of courses in their freshman year to ensure that all students gain an overview of the subject. Upon entering their sophomore year, students will be required to select a specific program of study. Both programs are designed to be completed within a four-year period. A practicum/internship in the eighth semester is required of all students. Track One: Environmental Science The Environmental Science track provides a comprehensive knowledge of Earth\'s physical, chemical, and biotic systems. Track Two: Environmental Studies The Environmental Studies track emphasizes both science and society. It is a program with an emphasis on social issues and how humanity impacts the environment. This track examines the applied side of environmental science and, specifically, incorporates five \"studies\" areas: sustainability, marine biology, ecotourism, public health, and natural history. In both tracks, students must complete an internship of 6 credits and a 3-credit Special Topics field course. The environmental science /studies major is offered during the day and evening on NSU\'s main campus. Learning Outcomes A successful environmental sciences/studies graduate is expected to: 1.
