Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science

Environmental Science is a broad and interdisciplinary field primarily concerned with the interrelationships between the lithosphere, the hydrosphere, the atmosphere, and the biosphere. It integrates diverse scientific disciplines such as biology, chemistry, physics, geology, hydrology, atmospheric science, oceanography, and toxicology.


Environmental science also touches on other disciplines such as engineering, psychology, economics, communications, business, and public policy. Environmental science is very inclusive because we all interact with the environment daily, which is so critical to our survival. Kennesaw State University’s Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science provides you with a truly interdisciplinary program drawing on faculty expertise and existing courses in the natural sciences, engineering technology, policy, and law.

This program prepares you to enter the industry, consulting, state agencies, or advanced professional programs in the environmental sciences.
