Environmental Science
Caldwell University’s new Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science is designed to prepare you for a number of growing career opportunities and graduate school paths related to environmental and ecological concerns.
According to the National Center for Education Statistics (NCES), Environmental Science is “a program that focuses on the application of biological, chemical, and physical principles to the study of the physical environment and the solution of environmental problems, including subjects such as abating or controlling environmental pollution and degradation; the interaction between human society and the natural environment; and natural resources management. Includes instruction in biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, climatology, statistics, and mathematical modeling.”
As a graduate of Caldwell University’s Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science program you will:
1. Have acquired a strong foundation in the scientific aspects of various environmental issues and be able to apply your knowledge.
2. Be able to communicate effectively about the environment to different audiences.
3. Be prepared for entry level positions in careers and/or graduate programs in fields related to environmental science.
Although this program emphasizes the sciences, you will have opportunities to learn about the health, legal, societal, political, and business aspects of environmental issues.
