Sustainability and science are the hallmarks of WCU’s interdisciplinary B.S. in Environmental Science. The major includes a core, taken by all students, consisting of solid foundations in biology, chemistry, geology, and geospatial analysis, as well as a sequence of four courses just for Environmental Science majors, from the freshman introduction to the senior capstone. This core is complemented by a set of Advanced Electives - Environment & Society and Advanced Environmental Science - which allows for increasing course choice in how students build their major. Students will then select a second, concurrent major that is relevant to their intended environmental career path.
This program must be taken as part of a double major and requires 36 hours of courses. Students must complete a second major to graduate.
