Majors
Environmental Science and Ecology (Extended Major)
Environmental scientists deal with issues such as climate change, rehabilitation and renaturation, habitat destruction or environmental impact assessment. Ecologists study how species interact with each other, with other species, and with their physical environment. A combination of both subjects is vital for understanding and protecting the balance of the natural world. The Environmental Science and Ecology extended major, will train you to apply a combination of scientific knowledge from environmental science, botany and animal science to address real-world problems.
Environmental Science and Management (Extended Major)
Environmental science assesses the impact of human activity on the global environment and develops scientific, risk-based solutions to help secure a sustainable future. The Environmental Science and Management extended major, will train you to apply scientific, economic and regulatory knowledge to help society resolve global conflicts such as climate change, deforestation and water pollution.
