The environmental science major expands your talents, skills, and abilities to become an informed citizen in environmental matters. You also learn to be an effective contributor and practitioner who can generate solutions to complex problems.

Academic Excellence
You will develop basic skills in biology, chemistry, ecology, mathematics, physics, geology, and other science-related areas. And you will be exposed to current issues in scientific theory and environmental policy that challenge you to get involved.

Based on the real-world complexity of the natural environment, the comprehensive Unity College approach to environmental science enables you to nurture your unique interests and build the required skills for success. We can structure your program of study in ways that take you where you want to go!
