Environmental & Health Sciences
The academic programs in the Department of Environmental and Health Sciences immerse students in content-rich curricula through active engagement in inquiry, analysis and practical applications. Each discipline emphasizes critical thinking, laboratory and field-based problem-solving, scientific and general writing, library and Internet research, and teamwork.
All of our students take part in laboratory research, clinical studies and field work. In addition, the internship program offers placements in local government, business and educational organizations. Meanwhile, our location in the northern Green Mountains puts countless field-work and outdoor activities within reach.
Together, these experiential learning opportunities provide the training and foster the skills that greatly enhance our students' marketability following graduation.
Please note: Our education department offers teacher licensure programs in life science (7-12), physical science (7-12) and physical education (K-6, 7-12, K-12).
