Fields of Study: Environmental Science
Students with interests in the field of environmental science benefit from a "living laboratory" on our 351-acre campus, complete with streams, meadows, forests and wetlands in close proximity to the Columbia River, old growth forests, the Cascade Mountains, and the Washington and Oregon coastlines.
Students may tailor the Bachelor of Science in Biology degree to fit their interest in environmental science. You may choose to complete the B.S. Biology using environmental science courses as biology electives, or you may choose to pursue a formal minor in Environmental Science (link to description below).
Field work and laboratory experiences are available with faculty, government agencies, non-profit organizations, etc. Students may earn research or internship credits towards completion of their degrees by participating in these opportunities.
