Bachelor [Environmental Science and Studies] From Towson University

The second is to instill the wide range of cognitive skills and content mastery that students will need to effectively analyze environmental issues, propose realistic plans for solving environmental problems at local, regional and national levels, or bring improved understanding of these issues to others through informal environmental education programs.

The requirements of the program are structured to meet these two objectives and include mathematical and scientific foundations as well as extensive interdisciplinary study related to environmental issues. The upper-level courses integrate the student?s program of study and provide hands-on practice in an environmental field. The environmental problems addressed in many classes and seminars will focus on the adjacent urban/suburban region and its impact on the surrounding environment.

Most environmental problems resist solutions from any single discipline and environmental education programs need to reflect the complexity of the environmental processes they present. Therefore the program utilizes a rigorous interdisciplinary approach. The curriculum draws upon the expertise of faculty in the areas of biology, chemistry, geology, mathematics, environmental ethics and values, public policy, science education, economics, geography, public health and social change.
