B.S. Environmental Studies - Analytic

 

The analytic option is designed to produce chemists who are particularly interested in the chemical pollutants that are being released into the air, earth and water environments of our planet. They may find jobs with local and state health departments, state and national environmental protection agencies, local testing laboratories, as well as in the private chemical-producing industries. Typically graduates work as laboratory and field technicians who sample and analyze chemical pollutants. Advisers: Dr. Frederic C. Laquer or Dr. Dan Sullivan

The Core Curriculum
All environmental studies majors complete a core of courses which provide breadth, environmental values, and a fundamental understanding of our social/legal processes. Some of the courses in the core curriculum may be used to fulfill divisional requirements. Note that some required course areas in the core curriculum may be fulfilled by several options. Students who are unsure about which option to choose should contact any of the advisers listed above. Courses needed to fulfill the core curriculum include BIOL 1330*; CHEM 1010**; CHEM 1014**; GEOL 1010; ECON 2200; GEOG 1030 or GEOG 1060 or GEOG 1070; LAWS 3910 or PA 2170 or ECON 3320 or BIOL 4820/GEOG4820; PHIL 2030 or PHIL 3180; SOC 3840 or SOC 3850 or an approved course in sociology; An approved course in statistics; BIOL/GEOG/GEOL 4610;BIOL/GEOG/GEOL 4800. *not required in life science option **not required in analytic and physics options.

To fulfill the Analytic Option the following is required:
CHEM 1180-1184, 1190-1194, 2210-2214 or 2250/2260- 2274, plus 2400-2404, 2500, 3350-3354, 3414, 3650-3654 and 3030. Plus the following cognate courses: BIOL 2440, an approved course in computer science, GEOG 4010, MATH 1950/1960, PHYS 2110, 2120, 1154, 1164 and one course from the following: GEOG 2620, 3510, 4630, GEOL 1170, 2600, 4540.
