Chemical Sciences
The environmental chemical sciences track provides training
for entry-level positions that require a basic understanding of chemical
principles and a working knowledge of basic chemical concepts as applied
in the environment. It also provides a strong foundation for graduate
or professional training in environmental chemistry. The environmental
chemical sciences track requires 37 semester hours.
