ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

Being able to implement solutions that protect the health of both humans and the environment requires a diverse set of skills. That’s why our Environmental Science program offers courses that build a strong background in the sciences, as well as engineering – all grounded in the liberal arts.

  • Small class sizes
  • Courses and labs taught by faculty, not graduate students
  • Opportunities to engage in research
  • State-of-the-art laboratory facilities
  • Advisers aware of new developments in employment and research in the environmental science field
  • Combined hands-on experience and fundamental education

SETTING STUDENTS UP FOR SUCCESS

Whether your goal is to go to professional school, graduate school, or immediately start your career, our program helps prepare you for life after graduation.

GAIN REAL-LIFE EXPERIENCE – ALL BEFORE YOU GRADUATE.

Tuition and Financial Aid

We believe every student, regardless of their financial situation, should have access to a UJ education. 100% of our full-time undergraduate students have some type of financial aid, with scholarship packages starting at $8,000 minimum. Your counselor for admissions personally walks you through financial aid, including the process of filing a FAFSA, maximizing your eligibility for aid, and answering any questions you may have along the way.
