Applied Science and Sustainability

The Applied Science and Sustainability major provides students with a marketable 4-year degree as well as preparation for students planning to attend graduate school in areas relating to the environment, conservation, or field research.

There are two tracks for the Applied Science and Sustainability major. While both tracks are scientifically based, the Compassion track is designed for those more interested in the sociological/programmatic aspects of Applied Science and Sustainability and who will probably not pursue graduate studies in environmental science.

The Environmental Science track is designed for those planning to work in the more technical aspects of the field and who are considering pursuit of science post-baccalaureate degrees.
