Biology - Environmental Option, Bachelor of Science
Pursuing a biology degree with a focus on environmental science will provide students with a thorough understanding of the complex interactions between natural systems and human activities. Students will engage in hands-on experiences through fieldwork, laboratory research, and environmental monitoring, developing expertise in areas such as ecosystem management, pollution control, and sustainability practices. This program prepares graduates for diverse careers in environmental consulting, natural resource management, environmental policy, and roles within governmental and non-governmental organizations dedicated to environmental protection and advocacy. Some graduates may also choose to pur
