Environmental Science, BS 1 Environmental Science, BS Our Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science degree is organized for students who seek a comprehensive understing of the scientific implications of environmental issues the ways that environmental scientists from a range of disciplines can approach their solution. Every student has an opportunity to develop core knowledge in geology, biology, chemistry, mathematics early in the program. Students then select one of three concentrations marine science, conservation science, or geoscience as a program focus for their upper-level work. We also provide an independent track for students whose interests do not fall into one of these three areas. Students who elect this option work with a faculty advisor to identify a group of five mid- to upper-level science s that are aligned with the student s career interests. (Students interested in studying environmental issues from a policybased perspective should consider the BA in environmental studies (http://catalog.northeastern.edu/undergraduate/science/marineenvironmental/environmental-studies-ba).) Program Requirements Complete all s listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools s where specified complete any additional s needed beyond specific college major requirements to satisfy graduation credit requirements. University-Wide Requirements All undergraduate students are required to complete the University- Wide Requirements (http://catalog.northeastern.edu/undergraduate/ university-academics/university-wide-requirements).
