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).
