This program touches on many different areas of science (from biology and chemistry to meteorology and physics), and is rich in laboratory and field experience-where you'll study environmental systems and problems firsthand. Opportunities also abound in this program to work directly with the faculty on research projects.

The environment affects our lives in so many different ways-from the quality of our air, water, and food to weather patterns and politics. SRU's Environmental Science program can lead to a meaningful career helping to preserve, protect, and improve the environment. With our growing population, environmental pressures and problems across the globe are increasing. A degree in Environmental Science will give you the background you need to help find solutions and make a difference.

Through our Environmental Science program, you will learn:

• How to interpret the geological context for environmental issues.
• How to sample, measure and interpret air and water chemistry.
• How to characterize changes in ecological communities.
