Enviromental Studies

---

Environmental problems have become the concern of government officials and citizens alike. Because of catastrophes involving toxic waste, air pollution, and water pollution, great care is now being taken to monitor the delicate balance between nature and the human use of the earth. Much more needs to be done. As a result, hundreds of new jobs have been created in enivronmental fields.

Environmental studies involves students in course work and research in such fields as biology; chemistry; geology; hazard perception; emergency and disaster planning; and envirnomental, energy-resource, and waste management. An environmental studies program might include anything from the preparation of an environmental impact statement to the geographic aspects of environmental law to the general principles of forest and wildlife management.
