环境科学与技术专业教育学生科学, 保护, and restoration of our natural resources—air, 水, 土地, 生态系统,以及建筑环境的可持续设计. Environmental problems are interdisciplinary in nature. Our students develop a foundation in biology, 化学, 地质, 数学, 统计数据, 沟通技巧, 并将这些知识应用于环境问题的研究和解决. We balance theory with hands-on practice, 包括在我们壮观的当地环境中进行的大量户外工作.

在环境科学与技术理学学士学位课程中,学生可以选择 Pollution Monitoring and Control 选项,侧重于污染预防以及调查和清理,或 生态系统恢复 选项,侧重于管理和恢复自然资源的战略. The program culminates with our capstone course, in which students work in small groups to plan, carry out a real-life project, and present their results to off-campus clients. 除了为学生提供一个展示他们通过学习获得的知识和能力的机会之外, 学生将学习如何应对现实项目工作中的挑战.

环境科学辅修课程对主修生物学的学生来说是一笔宝贵的财富, 化学, or 地质 and planning to work in an environmental profession.

Why study environmental science 卡内基梅隆大学?

CMU的环境科学课程平衡了理论与实践. 该计划的很大一部分致力于在我们壮观的当地环境中的校外实地工作. Our classes take frequent field trips to deserts, 山, and major rivers on the public 土地s that surround Grand Junction. Our faculty have a variety of specialties, 使我们的学生在各个领域获得经验. 班级规模小,导致与教师的高质量互动.

T在这里 are two options to choose from within the 环境科学 and Technology degree: 生态系统恢复 focuses on strategies for managing natural resources; in addition to the core courses, students complete coursework in Soils & 可持续性, 恢复生态学, 环境政策, 植物生物学, and other 环境科学 Restrictive Elective courses. Pollution Monitoring and Control focuses on pollution prevention as well as investigation and cleanup; in addition to the core courses, students complete coursework in Environmental Health & 安全,环境法规遵从,应用大气科学,污染调查 & 监测、地质和其他环境科学限制性选修课程.

环境科学与技术学士学位的学术要求

环境科学与技术辅修课程对学生进行科学教育, 保护, and restoration of our natural resources—air, 水, 土地, 和生态系统.

辅修环境科学与技术专业的学术要求

CMU环境科学与技术专业的毕业生在咨询公司担任环境专业人员, 行业, non-profit organizations, 和城市, 县, 状态, and federal government agencies (e.g., U.S. Bureau of Land Management, U.S.D.A. 美国林务局.S. Bureau of Reclamation, and U.S. 地质调查). Some graduates continue their studies in graduate school (e.g.(科罗拉多州立大学科罗拉多矿业学院,丹佛大学).
