Environmental Science Degrees
Whether you feel compelled to help conserve our limited natural resources or simply feel most at home in rugged environs, a career as an environmental scientist offers numerous rewards. Many environmental scientists spend their days out of office, on field sites, and in laboratories. They apply their earth science expertise to protecting the environment, locating natural resources, and predicting geologic hazards. (cont)
