Environmental Science

This major explores how natural systems work and how human activity impacts the planet. Students study ecology, geology, chemistry, and climate science while gaining hands-on experience analyzing environmental data and developing solutions to real-world challenges. The program prepares students for transfer to four-year universities and leads to careers in conservation, sustainability, environmental policy, water resources, and field research. Students can enter more than a dozen fields, including conservation, sustainability, water quality, renewable energy, environmental policy, and wildlife protection, making it one of the fastest-growing career areas in the United States.
