Bachelor of Science - Environmental Science - Applied Environmental Science

The bachelor’s degree in environmental science (EnvSci) produces scientists that are able to solve complex and important environmental problems at the intersection of the natural and social sciences. Students receive interdisciplinary training and become skilled in the use of theory from the biological, chemical, geoscience, and social sciences to solve applied problems and contribute to sustainable economic development and environmental stewardship in Idaho, the region, and elsewhere. Students will develop understanding of complex environmental systems, the organisms that inhabit and interact in them, the social systems that structure our interactions with the environment. They will learn how to analyze and communicate scientific information, to employ data science to develop and communicate novel solutions to existing environmental challenges, and to assist with the sustainable stewardship of our economy.
