The Environmental Science curriculum prepares students for surprisingly abundant jobs in the Fort Wayne area and those far afield. This minor is designed for students with a strong interest in science and the environment and provides a wide range of possible courses for maximum flexibility. USF has many other environmental curricular options including the Associates of Arts degree, minors in both Environmental Studies and Environmental Science, a bachelor’s in Environmental Science, and a bachelor’s in Environmental Health and Safety. Within the bachelor of science 4-year degree in Environmental Science three concentrations exist: the Liberal Arts concentration, which balances courses in biology, chemistry, and Earth science; the Conservation Biology concentration, which trains students in field biology and working with rare species; and the Sustainable Food Systems concentration, an interdisciplinary concentration that provides students with a foundation in ecological principals, an understanding of food systems, and opportunities to develop skills in sustainable and urban farming practices.
