Environmental Biology (BA)
Kadrin Anderson, Paul Callo, Paul Deeble, Mary Jane Epps, Rebecca Haberman
Humans cannot continue to consume more and more of the Earth’s resources indefinitely. There are limits to growth, and the consequences of ignoring these issues can be seen across the globe. Developing meaningful sustainable solutions to environmental problems requires awareness of science, economics, politics, and society. Students majoring in Environmental Biology will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake competent, complex problem-solving in a major that has an important connection to finding solutions for our shared environmental problems.
