Environmental Science Program

 ~ Students in the class of 2005 and beyond, work closely in consultation with a faculty advisor to design the student's course schedule to insure that the requirements for the program are met. This schedule must include a minimum of six (6) basic science courses and eight (8) environmental core courses. These courses are as follows:

• General Biology (BI 03 and 04)
• Biostatistics (BI 45)
• General Chemistry (CH 11 and 12)
• Organic Chemistry I (CH 27)

• Biosphere at Risk (BI 05)
• Aquatic Ecology (BI 19)
• Ecology (BI 20)
• Conservation Biology (BI 28)
• Environmental Biology of Plants (BI 29)
• Environmental Chemistry (CH 29)
• Principles of Microeconomics (EC02)
• Politics and the Environment (Po 15)

 ~ Each Environmental Science student is required to gain additional laboratory or field experience by 1) enrolling in either Independent Research in Biology (BI 21-22) or Research and Seminar (CH 50-51) in Chemistry, 2) participating in the Washington Internship Program (BI 50), or 3) by developing an individual internship program with direction from the Department Chairman (BI 51 and/or 52).
