Environmental Science

Environmental Science offers both science and non-science students the necessary background to understand the environmental problems that have arisen due to human activities. Courses deal with the interrelationships of soil, air, and water as they are affected by human activities. Students are challenged to think critically about their lifestyle choices and how these choices affect their immediate environment in the short term and the biosphere in the long run. Education of students is the key that opens their minds to the possibility that humans do, in fact, cause changes to their environment by using resources at rates that exceed the system's ability to replenish them.
