Biological Sciences (BSEnvirSci)

https://catalog.utexas.edu/undergraduate/programs/environmental-science-biological-sciences-option-bsenvirsci/

Undergraduate

This program is designed for students interested in an interdisciplinary scientific perspective on environmental and sustainability issues, analysis, and management. The degree program provides the broad foundation in physical, life, and social sciences needed for a career or graduate study in environmental science and related fields such as climate change, ecology, and conservation. Students who complete the program successfully will be able to assess environmental issues critically from multiple perspectives; to perform field, laboratory, and computer analyses; and to conduct original research. The program is designed to prepare graduates for careers in local, state, and federal government laboratories and nonprofit agencies, environmental consulting firms, environmental education and outreach agencies, and universities and other research settings. The degree is offered by the Natural Sciences with a major in biological sciences, Liberal Arts with a major in geographical sciences, and Geosciences with a major in geosciences. The degree shares common prescribed work, but each major has its own specific requirements.
