Environmental Science - Saint Louis University - Main Campus

Environmental Science from Saint Louis University - Main Campus is a Campus Bachelor Enviroment degree that prepares you for a Science career. Overview: The Environmental Science program focuses on developing a scientific understanding of Earth's natural systems and their interconnections with human society. The program represents a collaborative effort between several departments to provide a degree opportunity that bridges traditional academic boundaries. It is hosted by the Department of Earth and Atmospheric Sciences, which provides student advising and mentoring. Curriculum: The Environmental Science curriculum is built upon a 'breadth-depth' model that combines a comprehensive background in the natural sciences with specialized training in a chosen area of interest. All students entering the Environmental Science program are required to complete a core set of preparatory and skill development courses that provide a rigorous introduction to the environmental sciences. Students then choose a specialized 'track' that provides more advanced instruction in a specific discipline germane to environmental science . The track requirements are individually defined by the collaborative departments, and are roughly equivalent to completing a minor in the specific area of interest. Although many students in the program will take the majority of their upper-division classes in other departments, all students within the program have full access to departmental resources, including excellent computer and research laboratories, field- and laboratory-based research opportunities with department faculty, departmental field trips, and a strengthening relationship with local internship opportunities. Opportunities for research and field experiences in Biology and Chemistry are also available to qualified students. Careers: Demand for graduates with a comprehensive knowledge of natural systems and their interactions is strong and projected to increase in the face of greater public awareness of the influence of humans on the natural environment. With judicious planning, the program serves as excellent preparation for graduate degrees in medicine, the sciences, law and other disciplines where a strong background in environmental science is desirable.
