Trine University is launching a new Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science degree program that will provide students with the necessary skills to tackle the environmental challenges facing our planet. The program, offered through Trine’s Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, aims to prepare students for careers in various fields related to the environment, law, health and safety, or public policy.
According to Dean Lexie Staten of the Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, the program focuses on improving the health of the planet and its inhabitants. Graduates will have hands-on fieldwork and research projects experience that will equip them 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.
With job growth predicted to be above average in this field over the next decade by the Bureau of Labor Services, a degree in Environmental Science from Trine University is poised to provide employment opportunities for graduates.
