BS w Naukach o Środowisku i BA w Studiach Środowiskowych (BA, BS)

Binghamton University’s Environmental Studies Program seeks to prepare each student for life as a citizen and as a leader, who is equipped to understand and address the complex environmental challenges facing our communities, nations, and planet. Graduates of our program (with either a BA in Environmental Studies or a BS in Environmental Science) will be able to tackle environmental and societal concerns in four critical areas.

• Critical thinking skills for understanding and confronting problems that involve the intersection between the natural and human worlds at multiple scales
• Fundamental knowledge about the three E’s of sustainability: environment, economics, and equity
• Methodological training for generating and analyzing data needed to investigate, explain, and mitigate environmental issues and problems
• Communication abilities to share information with technical and non-technical audiences

Students who pursue a BS in environmental science or a BA in environmental studies may specialize in ecosystems, earth systems, economic systems, or sustainability systems.
