Environmental Science
Major and Minor
Environmental Science can take you around the world, and encourage you to get involved with research projects
In addition to your classroom work, you will have the opportunity to be taken on a research journey from studying samples in the lab in Carver Science Center, to assessing restored wetlands at Simpson's own research farm, to exploring the ecology of Africa, Europe and South America during May Term.
What will I learn?
If you are interested in a career in ecology, resource management, public health or environmental technology, you are in the right spot. You can choose different paths in the major, to focus on ecology and organisms or social and ethical issues surrounding environmental sciences.
Field-based exploration of plant taxonomy, anatomy, evolutionary and ecological relationships and quantitative sampling techniques of plants found in Iowa and the Midwest.
