Make the world a better place.

Learn how to conserve nature's ecosystems and create a sustainable society.

Human consumption of our planet's natural resources is a real problem. Air, water and soil pollution. 栖息地的退化. 本地化的人口过剩. 贫困. The growing demand of our nonrenewable natural resources.

Human ingenuity is the solution.

As the world begins to shift toward alternative energy technologies and new conservation strategies, students with Environmental Science degrees are being called on to design, restore and maintain these sustainable systems.

Why Lewis for Your Environmental Science Degree?

As an Environmental Science degree student at Lewis, you will study the interactions of the biological, chemical and physical processes of the Earth - learning how the complex systems of the planet operate, the relationship between man and nature, and how to design systems that minimize human interference and restore nature's sustainable ecosystems.

毕业后, you will be ready to hit the ground running in a career as an Environmental Scientist within local and state conservation or 环境 protection agencies, performing investigations in 保护生物学, 林业, fisheries and atmospheric sciences. +, many of our students develop a passion for an advanced degree in geographic information systems (GIS), 生态, 保护生物学, natural resource management, 环境 biology or foresty, and move on to graduate school straight after Lewis. 了解更多关于你的 career options with an Environmental Science degree.
