Majoring in Environmental Science at UConn 

  

Environmental Science studies the living and nonliving parts of Earth, and evaluates human impacts to promote informed management.  The Environmental Science BS program aims to educate students who will:    

  • Understand the scientific principles and social factors underlying local, national and  international environmental issues;
  • Have the skills to work in the public and private sectors; and,
  • Have sufficient grounding in one environmental discipline, as well as the interdisciplinary scientific base, to pursue advanced degrees.

Announcements:

        

Environmental Science students Katie Gherard and Anthony Wasley spent the summer researching river herring and striped bass on the Connecticut River.  See the local CBS channel 3 video!

          

  

Logan Senack, a senior in the Environmental Science Program, made a transatlantic sail on the historic schooner the Amistad over the summer as part of an educational voyage.
