The Environmental Studies (B.S. B.A.) program at East Stroudsburg University provides
students with hands-on, personalized instruction in environmental studies and prepares
them for a wide range of careers in environmental science and conservation.
ESU offers both Bachelor of Science (B.S.) and Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degrees in
Environmental Studies, depending upon the needs and goals of our students.
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 Studies 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 Studies 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.
A Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) degree in Environmental Studies is a good choice for those
who plan to enter fields such as law, journalism, public policy, or business. The
course requirements for a B.A. in Environmental Studies are designed to leave more
room for a double major in a non-science field.
Innovative Faculty
ESU Biology courses are taught by 13 full-time faculty members who all have doctoral
degrees and years of experience teaching and doing research in biology. Our faculty
have diverse interests in Biology and remain active in their disciplines, and they
share their enthusiasm and appreciation for biology with our students.
