Environmental Science

Ecosystems
    The environmental ecology emphasis is focused on biological and ecological structure and function, and relationships to human activities.

Environmental Chemistry
    The environmental chemistry emphasis includes coursework in various aspects of chemistry that apply to natural processes, pollutant dynamics and analytical methodologies.

Ecotoxicology
    The environmental toxicology emphasis deals with the fate and/or biological effects of contaminants.

Environmental Policy and Planning
    The environmental policy and planning emphasis allows students to obtain intensive or extensive coursework in the social aspects of environmental problem solving.

Environmental Management
    The environmental management emphasis is designed to integrate the skills of management with environmental science to provide the student a solid background in pollution prevention and control and industrial and municipal facilities.

Environmental Engineering Science
    The environmental engineering science emphasis is designed to provide a student looking to pursue graduate school after completion of a curriculum designed to the student environmental science with basic engineering course.

Geohydrology
    The geohydrology emphasis is focused on the study of geological and hydrological systems and processes, especially the analysis of contaminant dynamics in groundwater systems.

Geology
    Geology is the study of processes that shape the earth's surface and the surfaces other planetary and cosmic bodies such as the moon and Mars. These forces include wind, water, earthquakes and volcanoes. Traditionally geologists have been concerned with industrial application of their skills in such areas as the search for oil and precious metals. However, geologists today find their insight and assistance is also valued in such rapidly expanding fields such as geography, environmental studies, engineering and hydrology, and in such diverse fields as paleontology and oceanography.

Space Studies
   The study of space is grounded in the natural sciences. Space exploration, however, requires expertise in additional areas including social sciences, humanities, arts, history, business, law, and recreation. The Space Studies Program is interdisciplinary and broadly based.
