Bachelor of Science [B.S] [Environmental Science: Conservation and Restoration Ecology] From Loyola University

Students studying Conservation and Restoration develop a solid foundation in environmental science, environmental economics and policy, and the ways that society can effectively enhance biodiversity. 

Coursework, labs, and field experiences will give students a working knowledge of the current state-of-the-art in the Conservation and Restoration fields, the ability to identify major threats to biodiversity, and experience developing projects that address these threats. Working with faculty mentors offers additional research opportunities at local, national, and international scales. 

Many opportunities are also available to take courses and engage in conservation/restoration activities at LUREC, complete internships, and/or to study abroad.

The BS in Conservation and Restoration prepares students for careers in government agencies, conservation focused non-government organizations, consulting, outreach and extension, industry, or to pursue advanced study in ecology, conservation, natural resource management, or other areas that involve interactions between human and natural systems.
