Science

Applying the scientific principles of biology, chemistry, and physics, students of environmental science focus on the study of our natural resources and the impact of human activities on the environment. They learn to discuss sustainability and its links to ecosystems and natural resources, their capital, and the degradation of the environment. Issues of human population dynamics, pollution, energy resources, food resources, and environmental toxins will be considered. Solutions to global as well as local environmental issues are explored, including how to make a personal positive impact on the environment.
