Environmental science is the application of scientific information in order to solve conflicts resulting from humans’ use of our planet’s resources. This requires an understanding of the sustainability of natural systems and resources, the interrelationships between these systems, as well as the human impact on the environment. Environmental science is thus an inherently interdisciplinary field, using and combining information from such varied disciplines as: Biology; chemistry; geology; Economics; political science; law; ethics. California Lutheran University’s B.S. degree in environmental science is designed to provide the student with the tools to critically examine environmental issues from a variety of perspectives. Beyond the required foundational science courses, the program provides a broad range of science and humanities courses to select from, allowing students to tailor the program to their interests. The curriculum emphasizes experiential learning, providing the student with opportunities to actively engage in research. Many students who obtain the B.S. degree in environmental science are planning careers in environmental protection and management, risk assessment, environmental law or education. The program also prepares students to pursue graduate studies in various environmental fields.
