The Environmental Science (B.S.) program at East Stroudsburg University provides students
with hands-on, personalized instruction in environmental science and prepares them
for a wide range of careers in environmental science and conservation.
ESU offers a Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Environmental Science with two concentrations,
Environmental Biology for students who choose to focus on science and Environmental Applications for students whose interests and career goals are related to environmental policy
and law.
Our students are taught by full-time faculty members with doctoral degrees in Biology,
and we offer a broad range of courses related to environmental science.
Students in the Environmental Science program will learn how to identify local plants
and animals, survey streams for fishes and aquatic invertebrates, use lab equipment
to assess water quality and test for pollution.
Students will also learn how to carry out experiments and analyze data, and give presentations
on environmental science to both scientific and general audiences.
Career Opportunities
A Bachelor of Science (B.S.) degree in Environmental Science is a good choice for
those who plan to work as environmental consultants, in conservation districts, state
and federal environmental agencies, non-governmental organizations or plan on attending
graduate school.
