环境科学学士学位

UCSC环境科学（ESCI）专业是跨部门的，仅限本科的学位课程。ESCI专业的目的是教育对环境科学问题感兴趣的学生，重点是物理科学内的问题（相对于生物科学）。理学学士（BS）课程是为打算在环境科学，工程，政策，法律，教学或商业方面从事专业职业，或希望获得UCSC提供的广泛，定量培训的学生而设计的。除了为基础物理科学，尤其是环境科学的广度和深度提供全面的准备外，该课程的结构还旨在为学生准备竞争激烈的研究生院和职业市场。该专业的核心课程包括微积分，物理，化学和核心基础高等环境科学课程。学生还从多元化的高级选修
The UCSC Environmental Sciences (ESCI) major is an interdepartmental, undergraduate-only degree program. The purpose of the ESCI major is to educate students interested in environmental science problems and issues, with a focus on issues within the physical sciences (versus focusing on biological sciences). The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) program is designed for students who intend to pursue professional careers in environmental sciences, engineering, policy, law, teaching, or business or who otherwise desire the broad, quantitative training available at UCSC. In addition to providing comprehensive preparation in the basic physical sciences, and particular breadth and depth in environmental sciences, the curriculum is structured to prepare students for the competitive graduate school and career marketplace. The core of the major includes calculus, physics, chemistry, and core foundational upper-division environmental sciences courses. Students also select at least five additional courses from a diverse list of upper-division electives. These electives provide the student with expertise in one or more subdisciplines within environmental sciences. A senior comprehensive experience is required of all majors, and may be fulfilled in a variety of ways, including completion of an intensive senior seminar course or senior thesis.
