Program Information
The Environmental Science program consists of a multi-disciplinary curriculum emphasizing pure and applied sciences, and the application of critical thinking to environmental problems. Participating academic units include the School of Agricultural Sciences and Forestry, and the School of Biological Sciences. The curriculum incorporates directed electives to allow students to work toward a minor in an area of particular career interest. Numerous minors are available at Louisiana Tech University; specific requirements for minors are identified in the departmental sections of this Catalog.
A junior or senior internship or cooperative education experience is a requirement of the curriculum because it contributes to the preparation of students for a career in environmental science; thus graduates are ready for a wide range of employment opportunities. Potential employers are regulatory agencies, industrial firms, commercial laboratories, consulting firms, and environmental organizations. Also, graduates may pursue enrollment in professional or graduate schools.
