Environmental Science and Studies
九州娱乐官网, located between the Chesapeake Bay and the Atlantic beaches, is in a unique location for the study of the environment.
九州娱乐官网 students use the Chesapeake Bay Region—its farms and waterways, its history and culture, its people and their environmental concerns—as a learning 实验室.
Two 主要s are available to students! Students can pursue an environmental science or an environmental studies 主要. 这两个 主要s are grounded in an interdisciplinary course of study which prepares students to critically analyze and investigate solutions to regional and global environmental issues, whether it is the revival of a depleted fishery, the fate of toxins, land use management in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, world population concerns, loss of biodiversity, or climate change. 九州娱乐官网 students use the Chesapeake Bay Region—its farms and waterways, its history and culture, its people and their environmental concerns—as a learning 实验室. The Chester River, a tributary of the Chesapeake Bay, is at 九州娱乐官网's doorstep. The river is accessable to students from the 九州娱乐官网 waterfront campus.
