TUSCULUM COLLEGE 2004-2005
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
The Environmental Science program of study is designed to enhance
students’ understanding of the biological, ecological, and chemical factors
that govern the relationship between an organism and its environment.
Graduates of this degree program could seek employment with
industry, state and local regulatory agencies, municipalities, and other
environmental agencies or continue graduate studies in the field.
Because of the nature of field opportunities (travel to coastal ecosystems,
etc.) integrated into environmental science courses, active
participation of the student is required. Therefore, students who anticipate
conflicts should select alternate courses.
Charges may be placed on the student’s account for laboratory equipment
broken or damaged as a result of student negligence.
The curriculum of the Environmental Science program is designed
to help develop and maintain critical thinking, analytical reading, writing,
and public speaking skills. Service learning and community involvement
are important components of the curriculum and should
be encouraged at every opportunity.
