CURRICULUM NEWS

Engineering electives have been added to the Earth Science Emphasis in order to allow students the opportunity to increase their knowledge at the intersection between geology and engineering.

 

Environmental Science Program

 

The Environmental Science Program at Southern Methodist University is an interdisciplinary program with a technical core of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics and physics. Students choose an upper-level emphasis in either biology, chemistry or earth science, culminating in their senior year with a multi-disciplinary Environmental Science Seminar focusing on real-world issues and problems.

The Environmental Science Program develops the scientific literacy, technical skills and creative problem-solving techniques necessary to understand and deal with environmental processes and issues. The Program's speaker series highlights interdisciplinary approaches to environmental issues.

Environmental science provides a good undergraduate degree for students who are interested in careers in medicine, law, public policy, enforcement, site remediation, or conservation biology.
