Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science / Studies

Given the growing need to respond to environmental challenges and changes in today's world, now is the perfect time to pursue a degree in this field.  To better prepare students for the complex environmental issues facing the world, Post University's Environmental Program is interdisciplinary.  It draws on information obtained from many areas of study, including natural sciences, mathematics, philosophy, political science, business, and economics.  Students examine how the natural world functions and what impact human activities have on our local and global resources and environment.

The objectives of the Environmental program are to provide students with the analytical, critical thinking, technological, and communications skills necessary to integrate information from disparate fields and solve complex environmental problems.

Curricular and extra-curricular activities help students develop an understanding of the principles governing life through laboratory and field experiences, hand-on learning, and inquiry-based education. Students build upon an appreciation of the complexities of organismal interactions and contemporary issues in preparation for careers that demand an understanding of many science and non-science related disciplines.

Students in this program earn a Bachelor of Science degree in either Environmental Science or Environmental Studies.
