专业概况

在这里学什么？

Environmental issues, including resource scarcity, climate change and water quality, are at the forefront of world issues today. Environmental scientists investigate and seek out natural solutions to environmental problems. Environmental science at Ohio State is a field-based major focused on understanding pressing local and international environmental problems and training students with the hands-on skills needed to go directly into the workforce and solve these issues.

Curriculum

The following foundational courses provide an initial exposure to an array of issues that impact natural resources, focusing on physical and natural sciences as well as the social sciences.

• Introduction to Environmental Science
• Society and Natural Resources
• Introduction to Forestry, Fisheries and Wildlife
• Introduction to Soil Science

Specializations

Students in the Ecosystem Restoration specialization study how ecosystems (both aquatic and terrestrial) function in order to preserve, create and restore them. The curriculum will prepare students to engage in restoration projects ranging from the remediation of polluted ecosystems to the creation of new ecosystems.

The Environmental Molecular Science option is for students who have an interest in both biological and physical sciences and a desire to provide solutions to the world’s environmental challenges. The curriculum provides students with a multidisciplinary education in biochemistry, environmental science, geochemistry, microbiology and molecular biology. Students will gain a comprehensive understanding of Earth’s biogeochemical processes and reactions on the scale of a single atom, molecule and cell.

The Soil Resources and Environmental Sustainability specialization offers a highly interdisciplinary curriculum. Soil scientists apply concepts from biology, microbial ecology, chemistry, earth sciences, ecology, hydrology, mineralogy, mathematics and physics to understand, sustain and improve the environment.

The Water Science specialization addresses the fate of ecosystems like wetlands and riparian corridors. Students will take courses in ecology, geology, physics, hydrology, water resources, wetland ecology, civil engineering, aquatic plants, soil chemistry, climatology, limnology and environmental microbiology.

Possible careers

The School of Environment and Natural Resources Career Services Office assists students with one-on-one counseling to identify job opportunities, assist in preparing cover letters and resumes, and preparing for interviews. They offer workshops, conduct career fairs and help students along the way to make sure they are building successful resumes.

The intensive background and additional certification components of the environmental science degree make students highly sought after in both the public and private sector. Many of our students pursue advanced degrees. The intensive science background also makes this a good starting point for professional programs such as veterinary medicine, medicine, law and others.
