The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science is very much a generalist degree within the natural sciences. Focusing primarily on understanding our natural and human-made environments, environmental science degrees draw from diverse fields of studies and require a strong background in the more traditional sciences: biology, physics, chemistry, geography, and ecology. Environmental science degrees also draw heavily from the social sciences, such as economics, business, or sociology. The degree to which any of these fields of study becomes prevalent within an environmental science education largely depends on the student's chosen specialization. Since environmental science is a generalist degree, students often complete specializations within a more select area, i.e., biology, Lakota land studies, range studies, etc. True to most science degrees, environmental science programs often require significant fieldwork, lab work, or other data-oriented work.
