About the Program

The Environmental Science program provides students with academic preparation that addresses challenges currently facing society by producing graduates with the environmental skills and knowledge to meet workforce demands. Students will study topics ranging from climate and soil science to ecology and wildlife management while learning to mitigate harm, solve problems, and plan for a healthier future. The Environmental Science program is an interdisciplinary program supported by the Departments of Geography and Biology. This program can also serve as an entryway into the Master in Environmental Management in Sustainability (MEM) program offered jointly by FSU and the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science (UMCES).
