Program Outline

Degree Overview:

We educate students in the science, protection, and restoration of our natural resources—air, water, land, and ecosystems. We balance theory with hands-on practice, and include considerable work outdoors in our spectacular local environment. Individual and group projects are a key part of our courses. Our students have opportunities to take part in work done through partnerships with organizations such as the Colorado National Monument and the Bureau of Land Management. The Environmental Science minor is an invaluable asset to students who are majoring in biology, chemistry, or geology and planning to work in an environmental profession.
