Environmental science is a dynamic, multidisciplinary field encompassing biology, ecology, physics, chemistry, geology, geography, political science, sociology, and economics.
Environmental Science is the study of the interactions among living things and between living things and their non-living surroundings. Human activities affect these interactions in a variety of ways. People who study environmental science and issues look at what these interactions are and how they work, how human activities are affecting these interactions, and how we ourselves are affected.
A student interested in Environmental Science has a wide array of career opportunities to pursue depending on their interests. There are people with environmental science backgrounds employed in education, industry, politics, government agencies, and nonprofit organizations. Potential careers include wildlife biologist, conservation officer, ecologist, land manager, resource manager, environmental chemist, environmental geologist, health physicist, environmental engineer, soil scientist, forester, demographer, and educator.
