Environmental Biology Program
Curriculum
The EVB Program consists of a series of biology, chemistry, physical science and general education core requirements which includes the student internship. In addition, there are a series of elective courses that students have to choose from that span from biology, chemistry, earth sciences, geology / geography, journalism, recreation, and phsycology which allows the student to design their major based on their academic goals. In addition, we encourage our students who are interested in natural resource management and conservation biology to consider participating in the Interdisciplinary Minor in Geographic Information Systems (GIS).
