Environmental science is the study of natural and modified environments and their interactions with biological (including human) systems. It is a multifaceted field that combines aspects of chemistry, biology, ecology, physics, statistics, and human behavior. The environmental and ecosystem sciences major at WSU Tri-Cities provides a comprehensive understanding of environmental science in an ecological context.

The program emphasizes strong scientific knowledge and hands-on experience. Students will learn to assess beneficial and disruptive impacts on ecological systems and get hands-on experience in the methods used to analyze these complex systems. Supplemental Pre-Professional tracks are available for students interested in pursuing further professional education. If there is interest in one of these tracks in addition to the degree, please let the recruiter know. The options are: • Pre-Dentistry • Pre-Medicine • Pre-Pharmacy
