Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies
If you want to work with people to solve environmental problems - and not spend all
your time in a research lab - the Environmental Studies degree program at UToledo
is for you!
Undergraduates in Environmental Studies examine science, but they focus more on social sciences and humanities - everything from environmental politics and geography to economics. They take fewer advanced math and science courses than UToledo's environmental science majors.
Toledo is an urban, port city with diverse ecosystems. It's a perfect natural laboratory that allows UToledo's Environmental Studies students to travel throughout the region and study how humans interact with the environment!
What to expect when you graduate?
The B.A. in Environmental Studies from UToledo will give you the social science, humanities and science background you need for a successful career, and serves as excellent preparation for graduate-level training in professional programs. Jobs in the field are growing faster than the national average.
Students have varied career opportunities and are hired by environmental consulting companies; private conservation organizations; industries monitoring environmental quality; federal, state and local organizations such as the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency; and others that value environmental expertise.
