Objectives:
The educational objectives and student outcomes of the program are:
1. Students who complete the program will have a solid, multidisciplinary understanding of environmental problems and solutions;
2. Students who complete the program will be able to integrate the many different aspects of environmental science and relate the underlying scientific theory to how environmental considerations affect our everyday lives;
3. Students who complete this program will have an understanding of the principles (natural science) and practice (for example-economic, political, ethical, historical) of environmental problems; and
4. The program will provide students with skills in the areas of critical reasoning, problem solving and communication (written and oral).
