环境科学理学学士

环境科学学士学位课程综合了对固体地球，海洋，大气和其中发生的生物过程之间相互作用的定量研究。该学位为环境相关职业提供科学培训，包括环境科学本身以及法律和医学等外围领域。环境科学涵盖了广泛的应用地球科学。因此，学生在追求支持数学和科学的共同核心的同时，可以根据自己的兴趣量身定制专业。通过从七个子学科组中的四个学科中选修课程，可以适应环境科学的多种方法，包括为子学科的研究生学习做准备。强烈建议攻读该学位的学生在课程的早期阶段咨询地球和行星科学系的环境科学本科生顾问，以设计学科组的课程。鼓励所有专业与教师共同攻
The Bachelor of Science (B.S.) in Environmental Science synthesizes quantitative studies of the interactions between the solid earth, oceans, atmosphere and biological processes taking place therein. The degree provides scientific training for environment-related occupations, including environmental sciences per se as well as peripheral fields such as Law and Medicine. Environmental Science covers a vast sweep of applied Earth science. Students, therefore, have considerable flexibility in tailoring the major to their individual interests while pursuing a common core of supporting math and science. By taking courses from four out of seven subdisciplinary groups, a wide variety of approaches to environmental science can be accommodated, including preparation for graduate study in the subdisciplines. Students pursuing this degree are strongly encouraged to consult the Environmental Science undergraduate advisor in the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at an early stage in their program in order to design their curriculum in the disciplinary groups. All majors are encouraged to pursue an undergraduate thesis (493 and 495) in collaboration with a faculty advisor.<br><br>A program that focuses on the application of biological, chemical, and physical principles to the study of the physical environment and the solution of environmental problems, including subjects such as abating or controlling environmental pollution and degradation, the interaction between human society and the natural environment, and natural resources management. Includes instruction in biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, climatology, statistics, and mathematical modeling.
