ANGOLA, Ind. (WFFT) – Trine University launched a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science degree program, with classes starting in August.
The new program prepares students for careers in fields related to the environment, health and safety, law or public policy.
“Environmental science aims to examine and enhance the health of our planet and the people on it,” said Lexie Staten, dean of the Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, “In today’s ongoing conversations about environmental issues, it’s vital to develop well-trained professionals who can collect, analyze and interpret data related to the environment and the effect of human activities on it.”
The degree, which provides hands-on fieldwork and research projects, will prepare graduates to work in governmental agencies, non-profit organizations or private companies as environmental or conservation scientists, environmental educators, lawyers, environmental policy analysts or environmental health and safety specialists.
