关于

环境科学家 use their knowledge to protect the environment and human health. 这可能涉及向决策者提供建议, working with industry or spending time in the field to identify and assess potential threats. The Environmental Science (BS) degree at 澳门新濠娱乐开户 is a science-intensive, cross-disciplinary experience that develops a strong background in mathematics, 物理, 化学, 生物学, 统计数据, 地球科学, 环境政策及规划, 和地理信息系统（GIS）.

The degree’s Earth Systems Science concentration includes appropriate coursework for students to take the Fundamentals of Geology exam, the first step toward earning Professional Geologist (PG) licensure. While PG licensure may not be required for employment, many environmental consulting firms prefer that their hires be eligible for it in the future. This degree ensures that the student will have the necessary hours of coursework to begin the PG licensure process.
