Environmental Science

Major

环境科学专业以生物学为主,辅以大量的计算机科学和数学课程, chemistry, 和环境政策,以培养学生解决现代环境问题.

Environmental Science (ENVS) and Environmental Studies (EVST) 是不同但相关的程序吗. 这两个项目都以环境研究的入门课程开始,并以研究方法和专业顶点课程结束. 两者都是跨学科的项目,重点是建立自然/物理科学方面的知识和技能, Social Sciences, Humanities, and Arts. However, 虽然这些内容领域存在于两个专业, ENVS专业要求更多的自然科学知识, physical science, 和计算科学的内容比EVST专业要多.
