University of Maryland College Park Environmental Studies

The University of Maryland College Park Environmental Science program values the integration of the natural sciences and social sciences and how those disciplines can best shape good public policies. Taking courses from a wide variety of subject areas allows students to consolidate learning by synthesizing ideas from many perspectives. It encourages them to explore new knowledge in different areas of environmental science. The university strongly believes this type of education will help students become more employable due to their ability to engage across disciplinary boundaries and help bridge the gap between science and policy-making decisions.
