Environmental analysts do not jump on the bandwagon. They march to a different drummer in search of what the data really mean. They have a mind for math and an interest in using science to help promote practices that result in clean air, water and soil. Do you believe every one has a responsibility to protect soil, water and air quality? Do you reject the idea that Dilution is the solution to pollution? Would you slog through 100 pages of scientific papers to find new clues to health hazards of chemical plant run-off? If yes, an Environmental Analysis major is for you. What you’ll study What you’ll do Environmental Analysis
CENTER for SUSTAINABILITY AND GLOBAL CHANGE
Environmental Analysis majors are focused on the chemistry of the earth, atmosphere and water. They understand and search for connections between rock, mud, water and air. Precision and accuracy are critical to them. They love data acquisition and analysis. They make decisions based on careful analysis of numbers, patterns and trends. They trust but verify, verify, verify. They check and double-check facts and figures.
