Overview

Environmental Biology is a concentration within the biology BS. It prepares students for the workforce or graduate study in ecology, whole-organism biology and environmental work. Required courses include microbial ecology, zoology, botany-related courses on plants and fungi, plant physiology, geology and an introduction to geographic information systems. An internship is required. Careers exist in law, government, industry and universities with an environmental focus, as environmental concerns continue to grow.
