Biological and Environmental Sciences

Hands-on courses and a foundation in natural resource and environmental sciences teach you about the ecology, habitat, and conservation of wild animals.   

Learn how to create, manage, conserve, and repair forest ecosystems to make a positive impact locally and globally.   

Study the interactions of physical, chemical, and biological conditions of natural and human-modified environments to solve growing environmental challenges.   

Chemistry, biology, engineering, microbiology, and psychology intersect to form the study of food science. Learn how to provide consumers with safe, delicious, and nutritious foods. 

Study innovative agricultural systems to produce ecologically mindful and profitable foods, as well as marketing approaches to meet the global demand for organic and sustainable foods. 

Learn how to develop and apply new technology to ensure a safe and abundant food and fiber supply with a strong foundation in plant and animal sciences.

Through a combination of social and biological sciences, you’ll learn how the roles of culture, dynamics of natural and social systems, and biological attributes shape human beings and society, preparing you to better serve global needs in the sciences and public policy.

Learn the tools and techniques to create, manage, and exploit big datasets, extract information, and develop predictive models used by many different industries to make better decisions. 

Study the anatomy, physiology, behavior, and diversity of animals through hands-on learning in classroom, field, and research settings.

With a basis in evolutionary diversity, global ecology, and molecular, cellular, and physiological processes, you’ll study life from prehistoric times to the modern day to predict how life may change in the future.
