Environmental Science Program

Curriculum, Courses, and Requirements

The environmental science curriculum consisting of core and elective courses prepares all students to address environmental problems integrating knowledge from across the natural and social sciences. In addition, students acquire specific environmental skills such as environmental research design, statistics, computer mapping and information systems, and pollution assessment. All of this is done within the context of a Christian environmental ethic in which students develop their personal and professional identity as stewards of creation. 

Beyond the core, an additional ten hours are selected from the list of electives in consultation with the program director.
