“The
program course work gave me a great foundation in the
sciences and allowed me
to develop research projects and
internships through several
departments. By the time I
graduated, I had the practical experience most employers look
for, as well
as a science foundation that allowed me to be
competent with scientists
from many disciplines.”

“I
feel my EnvS degree provided me the opportunity for exposure to such a
wide array of people in various disciplines, that it really gave me an
advantage in real life situations in my job.
I am able to pull together different opinions and move forward on
projects instead of bogging down in petty philosophical differences.”

“The
program provided me with an opportunity I could not have gotten anywhere
else - it was a great experience and prepared me to land a great job!”

“Through
the many internship opportunities offered in the Environmental Science
Program, I was able to strengthen my education with both practical and
life-enhancing experiences. I
will never forget my summer in the Russian Far East or the kids I worked
with at the Sun Valley natural resources camp.”
