Trine University has recently launched a Bachelor of Science in environmental science degree program, drawing on its expertise in the sciences and engineering. This new program aims to equip students with the knowledge and skills needed to tackle the environmental challenges facing our planet. The first classes for this innovative program will begin in August.
The Bachelor of Science in environmental science will be housed within Trine’s Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences and is designed to prepare students for a wide range of careers related to the environment, law, health and safety, and public policy. According to Lexie Staten, dean of the Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, the program emphasizes the importance of training professionals who can collect, analyze, and interpret data related to environmental issues.
Through hands-on fieldwork and research projects, graduates of this degree program will be well-prepared for roles in governmental agencies, non-profit organizations, and private companies. They can pursue careers as environmental or conservation scientists, environmental educators, lawyers, environmental policy analysts, or environmental health and safety specialists. The program aligns with the anticipated job growth in the field by the Bureau of Labor Services over the next decade.
