Environmental Science B.S. - Natural Sciences
Innovative Degrees, Real-World Impact
IERE's two new B.S. degrees in Environmental Science - Environmental Natural Science and Environmental Principles & Practice - launched in spring 2025. These interdisciplinary degrees were developed by IERE Joint Faculty in collaboration with IERE's Faculty Executive Board and Community Council as a result of student and employer demand. A unique feature of both Environmental Science B.S. degrees is the integration of IERE’s student and research programs directly into the coursework—providing all students in the majors with real-world, hands-on experience throughout their academic journey. IERE also continues to support students across campus through the growing Environmental Studies minor, which is helping a growing number of students to connect environmental science and studies with their career goals.
