Biology (environmental Science), Bs in Arizona State University (ASU)

The BS program in biology with a concentration in environmental science emphasizes experiential learning with courses that include required laboratories. By learning in an integrative environment that underscores the connectedness of these disciplines, students gain a better understanding of larger scientific concepts and they view these concepts from multiple perspectives. Students pursuing this concentration take a set of courses that focus more on environmental science than those pursuing a Bachelor of Science in biology.

While the emphasis is on science, students learn to approach environmental science from an interdisciplinary perspective, in part by studying environmental ethics and policy.

Career Opportunities

According to the 2010-2011 Occupational Outlook Handbook (U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, 2010), employment of environmental scientists is expected to grow by 28% between 2008 and 2018. This is far more rapid growth than the average rate of growth for all occupations. The handbook indicates most rapid growth will occur in the private sector, primarily in private environmental consulting firms.

This concentration allows students to tailor their courses of study to their interests in the science of the environment to help prepare them for careers in the public and private sectors (e.g., environmental consulting, environmental remediation, natural resource management) and entry into graduate programs in environmental science and related disciplines.

Career examples include but are not limited to those shown in the following list. Advanced degrees or certifications may be required for academic or clinical positions.
