Environmental Science
Major, Minor
Environmental science focuses on educating individuals who go on to inspire others and help protect our planet. Our program offers a diverse range of integrated courses that explore the scientific dimensions of critical environmental challenges through biology, chemistry, physics and geosciences.
One of the most distinctive aspects of studying environmental sciences at Union is our extraordinary mix of field programs, which run the gamut from understanding geothermal power in Iceland and evaluating Atlantic fisheries to studying biodiversity in the Great Barrier Reef.
