EIU Environmental Biology

Environmental Biology Curriculum

The Environmental Biology program consists of a series of biology, chemistry, physical science and general education core requirements, which include a field internship. Students choose additional elective courses to design a major based on their academic goals. These courses include biology, chemistry, earth sciences, geology/geography, journalism, recreation, and psychology.

We also encourage students who are interested in natural resource management and conservation biology to consider participating in the interdisciplinary minor in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).

Note: requirements are based on catalog year.
