Environmental Science Program
The Environmental Science Program at Southern Methodist University is an
interdisciplinary program with a technical core of biology, chemistry,
geology, mathematics and physics. Students choose an upper-level emphasis in
either biology, chemistry or earth science, culminating in their senior year
with a multi-disciplinary Environmental Science Seminar focusing on
real-world issues and problems. The Environmental Science Program develops the scientific literacy, technical skills and creative problem-solving techniques necessary to understand and deal with environmental processes and issues. The Program's speaker series highlights interdisciplinary approaches to environmental issues. Environmental science provides a good undergraduate degree for students who are interested in careers in medicine, law, public policy, enforcement, site remediation, or conservation biology. Requirements for the B.S. in Environmental Science
