Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science
Objectives
The objective of the Environmental Science major is to prepare a student for a career in the field of environmental sciences. Students receiving this degree can either pursue graduate studies, or enter the field of environmental science where many jobs are available, for example, with various private businesses, government agencies, and environmental advocacy groups.
The Environmental Science major is a rigorous interdisciplinary program involving course work in biology, chemistry, physics, and environmental science and engineering. Environmental science classes focus on theoretical and technical knowledge of the generation, transport and fate of pollutants, their impacts on natural resources and human health, resource management, and conveying technical information. Laboratory courses are designed to maximize hands-on experience in collecting samples from various media, and using an array of equipment to characterize samples of soils, water, and air. Many of the environmental science courses include field trips to the adjacent Ballona Wetlands and Santa Monica Bay to demonstrate methods for collecting samples, and to study environmental conditions and resident biota. Internships with local environmental organizations and companies are an integral component of the program. The major requires that the student conduct a research project followed by presentation of results upon completion.
