The Department of Earth and Biological Sciences in the School of Science and Technology offers a program leading to a Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Sciences (ENVS).

This program builds upon a strong interdisciplinary breadth in natural, physical, and earth systems sciences to help understand the effect of human activities on environmental sustainability and management.

This program differs from many others in offering a distinctly Christian perspective on environmental stewardship. Students are encouraged to develop an open-minded, investigative approach to science in the context of wholeness and global service.

Since understanding the environment has become highly dependent on advanced technology, students will learn to use marketable geospatial applications such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Remote Sensing (RS), Computer Systems Modeling (CSM), and Global Positioning Systems (GPS). With these tools, students will be able to address environmental problems such as climate change, conservation, biodiversity decline, groundwater and soil contamination, use of natural resources, waste management, sustainable development, and air and noise pollution.
