B.S. in Environmental Sciences
(HEGIS 0420)
Dowling’s School of Arts and Sciences degree programs are
constructed upon a well-rounded core curriculum of arts and humanities,
natural science, math, and social sciences. These are the classic building
blocks that ensure career versatility in an ever-changing world. Our
Environmental Sciences degree was designed based on the belief that
environmental issues are societal issues; consequently, its required
courses will be drawn from natural sciences, humanities, and social
sciences. In this program, students will gain an understanding of the
impact of science and technology on society and explore solutions to
environmental problems and issues. Students will learn how to define
environmental problems, gather information, and organize and interpret
data. Rigorous scientific investigation, monitoring, and mitigating will be
stressed through a strong field research component.
