Environmental Protection

The Environmental Protection major prepares students for careers

in areas which safeguard the quality of the environment. The

curriculum consists of two elements: interdisciplinary training in a

broad array of environmental protection sciences, and a

specialization in either pest management or soil and water

conservation. Students work with their advisor to select courses

from both the environmental protection electives and the

specialization electives that match their individual interests and

career goals.

Recent graduates in this option are employed by: municipal,

state, and federal government agencies; consulting firms

specializing in land reclamation and water quality; and companies

associated with the gas, oil, or coal industries.
