The major in environmental science is an interdisciplinary program among the NJIT Department of Chemistry and Environmental Science, the Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences at Rutgers-Newark, and the NJIT and Rutgers Federated Biological Sciences Department. The program provides students with a strong background in science and fundamentals as they relate to the environment. The program is designed to prepare graduates for technical positions in the environmental industry and/or to continue their education in the graduate level. The program also prepares students to pursue positions related to the environment in the fields of law, business, sociology, health, and political science. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science with Options in:
Sustainable Earth
Biocomplexity
Environmental Policy Studies
Chemistry of the Environment

Each student will then select from one of four options. Each option requires 36 credits of selected courses and electives. A list of approved electives is attached. Each area will be served by a program director, who can approve other courses in appropriate areas. Students will also be given the option of creating their own sequence of courses. Required course work for the four options is listed on the following pages.
