Description
The Environmental Science option is a scientifically and mathematically rigorous program that provides a strong foundation in the sciences and introduces students to the interdisciplinary breadth of environmental science through a selection of core courses dealing with the geographical, physical, social, and living environments. It is designed for students who want to focus on scientific careers in fields such as conservation biology; climate and the atmosphere; pollution prevention and abatement; aquatic environments; or ecosystem protection,restoration, and management. This program requires significant fieldwork, lab work, and other data-oriented work. The Environmental Science option is a transfer program that meets the requirements of the SUNY Environmental Science (Biophysical Track) Transfer Pathway. Upon successful completion of this coursework, a student should be well-positioned to finish their degree with an additional two years of study at another SUNY transfer college.
