Environmental Sciences - Oregon State University

Environmental Sciences from Oregon State University is a Campus Bachelor Enviroment degree that prepares you for a Science career. Research and instruction on environmental problems and issues have been strong areas of emphasis at OSU for many years. A program leading to the B.S. degree in environmental sciences offers undergraduates an interdisciplinary curriculum that includes specializations in several fields, such as conservation biology, aquatic ecology, environmental policy, ocean-atmosphere-land sciences, terrestrial ecosystem ecology, environmental health, and environmental toxicology. The curriculum is specifically designed to give students a rigorous science education and prepare them to become problem-solvers who can apply scientific methods to interdisciplinary questions and communicate effectively. Experts from different departments join forces to train undergraduates in a wide range of environmental issues. Qualified environmental sciences graduates may enter OSU?s yearlong Professional Teacher Education program (Master of Science in Education) to become certified to teach in the areas of science and environmental education. Students can combine their scientific background with a degree in law to pursue careers in environmental law. A degree in environmental sciences combined with an M.B.A. degree or the Professional Sciences Master?s degree would qualify students to assume leadership positions in the environmental divisions of large corporations. Career Opportunities Career opportunities for students graduating with a B.S. degree in environmental sciences are expanding. Federal agencies, such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, the Department of Energy, and the U.S. Forest Service, hire qualified graduates, as do private companies, consulting firms, and universities. Many students continue their environmental studies in graduate degree programs, or combine their undergraduate B.S. degree with graduate programs in other fields. For example, a degree in environmental sciences can lead students to a career in elementary or secondary education. View more details on Oregon State University .
