Creating a better environment today for your planet tomorrow

What could matter more than Earth itself? As an earth and environmental sciences major at 浩博体育app, you will gain a deep understanding of the nonliving components of our environment, 比如水, rocks, 空气与土壤, as well as their dynamic interactions. You also examine how those components impact all living things, as well as how humans impact the environments upon which all living things depend.

Study hydrology, geology, weather, 土壤科学等. Spend purposeful time outdoors at our 占地87英亩的野外站, where you’ll deepen your academic learning and develop a profound scientific understanding of the world around you. Gain intensive experience doing active lab work under the guidance of your professors and in close collaboration with your classmates. Choose from our many internships and research projects with area partners such as the 切萨皮克保护 or the Middle Susquehanna Riverkeeper Association. 所有这些研究, activities and experiences combine to give you the skills you’ll need to tackle the environmental projects you’ll encounter in your career.

Your studies will culminate in a senior research project you’ll complete in close collaboration with a faculty member. The project allows you to apply everything you’ve learned to a current environmental or earth science question. You’ll even have the chance to present your findings to an audience of professionals at a regional or national conference, which is guaranteed to impress your employers.

Which environmental degree should I choose?

Choosing the right environmental major can be a challenging task, as Earth & 环境科学, 环境研究 and Ecology share many similarities.

Earth & 环境科学

Earth & 环境科学 examines the nonliving components of our environment and how they impact living things. It’s the scientific study of water, rocks, 空气与土壤 and their dynamic interactions. You’ll take courses in hydrology, geology, weather, 土壤科学等, with lots of hands-on field and lab work, culminating in a research collaboration with faculty.

Ecology

Ecology is a branch of biology that examines how organisms interact with each other and their environment. You’ll take courses in biology and environmental sciences. Field and lab projects are an integral part of this major and every student completes a research project with faculty.

环境研究

Environmental studies is an interdisciplinary field that explores the relationships between human, non-human and non-living earth systems at different levels. You’ll learn to address environmental challenges caused by humans, including 气候变化 and environmental injustice. Courses include natural and social sciences, literature, religion, politics and business.
