环境科学理学学士

环境科学利用自然系统的物理，化学，生物和定量方面的基础知识。关于自然系统如何工作的知识被用于解决人类活动在很大程度上造成的问题。这些问题通常以自然系统功能的紊乱为代表，因为人类改变了自己的生命支持系统，即空气，水和土壤。干扰的规模范围从分子和细胞到个人，种群，生态系统，以及区域和全球范围。
Environmental Science draws on basic knowledge of the physical, chemical, biological, and quantitative aspects of natural systems with a focus on how human activities impact the natural systems. It also considers how built environments, ranging from rural to urban developments, intersect with and affect humans and the natural environment. Different aspects of the environment are considered, including the air, the water, and soil. The scale of impacts ranges from the molecular and cellular to individuals, populations, ecosystems, and regional, and global levels.<br><br>The Environmental Science major will acquire the scientific and problem-solving skills as they relate to environmental issues. Students of Environmental Science will go directly into an environmental science career or on to graduate school to further their study.
