Environmental Sciences, option in Wildlife, Fisheries, and Natural Resources BS


Degree Requirements

Students must meet the general education requirements, as stated elsewhere in this catalog, and complete the courses listed in the curriculum to obtain a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Sciences. Students are encouraged to develop a track emphasis area based on their own interests.

Students are required to pass each science course with a grade of “C” or better. This requirement is based on the quantitative skills needed in later courses as well as the degree of integration in subject material that is present throughout the program.

The Environmental Sciences Curriculum

Students within the Environmental Sciences program put their knowledge into practice in the best place possible—the great outdoors.  Emphasis is placed on active experiential learning. The program offers numerous and diverse opportunities for students to engage in applied research and resource management projects with the support of faculty and professionals through local and regional partnerships.
