Bachelor of Science in Environmental Biology

The Environmental Biology Major is a “liberal science” major, focused on the science of the biological, chemical, and geological processes that operate on our planet, as well as the ways that humans utilize and alter these processes in cultural, economic, agricultural, and public health systems. This major stresses foundations in biological and quantitative sciences and in scientific communication as a means to understand environmental studies and multifaceted environmental issues.

Students interested in this major typically enter the program as Biology majors, however, transfer and undeclared students are also welcome. Students declare their intention to becomes an Environmental Biology major in the fall of second year, and should enroll in Ecology (BIOL-1800) during this term. In the Spring term, Environmental Biology majors will also enroll in the Gateway course, Evolutionary Processes (BIOL-1850). This course is a communication-intensive course that satisfies the University-wide Integrated Writing requirement.

Students should plan their program of study in consultation with their faculty advisors. Faculty advisors also help students identify summer or senior research opportunities relevant to environmental biology topics as well as sources of competitive financial support for such activities. Biology courses successfully completed while studying abroad may count toward the credit requirements for the major in Environmental Biology when specifically approved by the Department in advance.
