The environmental challenges of the 21st century require individuals who understand environmental and scientific complexities and can implement a multi-disciplinary approach to environmental problem-solving at local, regional and global scales.听 Led by a dynamic group of faculty whose expertise and research interests span a wide range of critical environmental topics (chemical pollution measurement and impacts, paleoecology, forest ecosystems, sustainable use of natural resources, wetland ecology, avian ecology, conservation biology,听 climate change, and alternative energy systems), the Environmental Science major at 69色情视频 provides students with a strong foundation in basic sciences, followed by a specially designed set of advanced courses that help students acquire extensive theoretical and practical knowledge in advanced geology, environmental chemistry, field ecology and research, and climate change.听 The entire curriculum is heavily experiential in nature, with strong laboratory and field work components in nearly every course and with ample training in the skills that are essential for launching successful careers in the sciences (research design, statistics, technical writing, critical thinking, computer applications, and oral presentations).

In addition to gaining extensive, hands-on laboratory and field experience through Environmental Science courses, much of which takes place in newly-renovated laboratories and in the adjacent scenic Highlands region, many students conduct independent research projects with Environmental Science faculty. 听Students are also encouraged to participate in co-op education听 with organizations such as the Ramapo-directed and staffed Meadowlands Environmental Center (NJMEC), the New Jersey Botanical Garden, the New Jersey Meadowlands Commission,听 the New York鈥揘ew Jersey Trail Conference and with environmental consulting firms in the region.

Graduates enter a wide range of careers, including environmental testing, ecological field research, environmental education, alternative energy, and environmental planning and with local, state and federal government agencies.听 The major is structured so that students may continue their studies at the graduate level in a variety of environmentally-related areas.听 Students who major in Environmental Science and are interested in a career in education can enroll in the College鈥檚 Teacher Education program and select relevant course work in consultation with their faculty advisor in preparation for teacher certification.

GOALS:

Students will develop:

• an in-depth understanding of fundamental environmental principles, primarily from a multi-disciplinary, scientific perspective;
• the ability to use scientific methods, rigorous research design, field and lab methodologies, quantitative problem-solving skills, statistical analysis and team research to help identify and address environmental problems;
• high-level skills at obtaining and critically evaluating authoritative information on environmental issues;
• facility at communicating effectively in a variety of formats (oral presentations, technical writing, popular writing).

OUTCOMES:

Students will be able to:

• demonstrate extensive knowledge about environmental concepts, principles, and applications;
• effectively utilize and apply current technologies for environmental measurement, data collection and problem solving;
• adeptly design and conduct original research that incorporates advanced quantitative and qualitative analysis;
• critically evaluate published research;
• prepare high-quality, scientific research reports, oral presentations, and media pieces for lay audiences.

1. Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a (W) below.听 Waivers do not apply to Major Requirements.
2. Double counting between General Education and Major may be possible.听 Check with your advisor to see if any apply.
3. Writing Intensive Requirement (five courses): 听two writing intensive courses in the general education curriculum are required: Critical Reading and Writing II and Studies in the Arts and Humanities; the other three courses are taken in the major.
4. Not all courses are offered each semester. 听Please check the current Schedule of Classes for semester course offerings.
5. The Career Pathways Program requirements must be completed prior to graduation. Visit the Cahill Career Center.

ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE MAJOR

Note: A 2.0 GPA in the major is required for graduation.

At least half of the courses fulfilling a minor must be distinct from the student鈥檚 major. That is, three of the five courses (lecture and lab co-requisites count as one course) required for a minor cannot be used towards fulfillment of major requirements. A school core does not need to be completed for a minor. Minors are open to students regardless of school affiliation.
