Environmental issues, including resource scarcity, climate change and water quality, are at the forefront of world issues today. Environmental scientists investigate and seek out natural solutions to environmental problems. Environmental science at Ohio State is a field-based major focused on understanding pressing local and international environmental problems and training students with the hands-on skills needed to go directly into the workforce and solve these issues. The School of Environment and Natural Resources Career Services Office assists students with one-on-one counseling to identify job opportunities, assist in preparing cover letters and resumes, and preparing for interviews. They offer workshops, conduct career fairs and help students along the way to make sure they are building successful resumes. The intensive background and additional certification components of the environmental science degree make students highly sought after in both the public and private sector. Many of our students pursue advanced degrees. The intensive science background also makes this a good starting point for professional programs such as veterinary medicine, medicine, law and others.
