專業(yè)概況
在這里學什么?
Earning an environmental science degree from RIT gives you the problem-solving skills needed to be successful in the field. This major combines a love for nature with cutting edge research to create a sustainable future for our planet. Meaningful fieldwork gives you experience in solving real-world problems.
Environmental scientists solve problems relating to power generation, waste reduction and recycling, pollution control, land use, and land cover change, preserving biodiversity and ecological services, transportation, forestry, agriculture, economics, and a wide range of other areas. They study our relationship to nature and to each other, developing solutions that prevent or reverse environmental deterioration and work toward sustainability. Meeting these challenges requires problem-solving abilities based in science, mathematics, the social sciences, and other disciplines. This is an interdisciplinary degree with a strong foundation in biology, mathematics, chemistry, physics, and geographic information systems. The BS program provides you with the education and experiences you’ll need to be successful.
Real World Experience
Undergraduate research is strongly encouraged and strengthens your preparation for graduate study or employment. Students are encouraged to participate in undergraduate research experience under the guidance of faculty mentors. Students are also encouraged to apply for summer research internships both here at RIT and at other institutions. In addition to undergraduate research, optional cooperative education opportunities offer students a great way to get a head start on their career with paid, professional work experience with local, state, or federal government agencies, nonprofit environmental organizations, and a host of environmental consulting firms.
Nature of Work
Environmental scientists and geoscientists use their knowledge of the physical makeup and history of the Earth to protect the environment; locate water, mineral, and energy resources; predict future geologic hazards; and offer environmental site assessments and advice on indoor air quality, hazardous waste site remediation and construction and land-use projects. Most of their time is devoted to office or field work and often includes data analysis and report/proposal writing.
Careers in Environmental Science
There is a great need for individuals who have both a strong background in environmental science and the ability to participate in an interdisciplinary problem-solving team. Upon graduation, students will be valued for their broad understanding of environmental science, their depth of knowledge in a particular aspect of environmental science, and their ability to attack and solve tough environmental problems.
