环境科学学士

Seattle University’s bachelor’s in environmental science gives you a strong foundation in biology, chemistry, 生态与环境工程. 部分自主设计的专业, 你可以在感兴趣的领域选修额外的高级课程, 从水资源到环境经济学. The degree is also structured so you can obtain a minor in your area of interest or an undergraduate certificate in Geographic Information Systems (GIS). The last year of your degree includes a capstone that allows you to apply what you’ve learned to a real-life problem.

在你完成学位之后, 你将有资格从事环保事业, 环境咨询, 自然资源管理, 业务可持续性, 以及其他类似领域. 你也可以去法学院或研究生院学习各种学科.

The minor in environmental science is intended to provide you with a core set of tools and scientific knowledge that can then be used to approach the environmental from the perspective of a single discipline. Seattle University’s minor gives you the opportunity to learn about the biological, physical and chemical components of the environment and then relate them to both human and ecological health. 航海等科目, forest or aquatic ecology can all be explored after foundational courses in biology and chemistry are completed. 要修辅修课程，你必须在这方面修满至少30个学分.
