Environmental Science and Technology

Climate change, species extinction, pollution, managing waste, and recycling are huge challenges that we face and are now at the forefront of public discourse and debate. These are complex phenomena that we must understand in order to address. Environmental scientists are needed to provide technical solutions and advanced innovations through the application of chemistry, physics, and biology. This degree explores the environment, the technologies used for its analysis, and how it is impacted by our activities from a scientific perspective. Students will consider and probe the problems we face and investigate means for reducing our negative impact on the environment.
