Coastal environments are critical for society. Although they only cover 10% of the land mass, coastal environments (fed by watersheds upstream and incoming ocean tides) are home to 40% of the world's population. The University of South Alabama offers a B.S. in Environmental & Sustainability Sciences designed to address the need for a broad understanding of the natural world and its interaction with the demands of human society and development. A key component of environmental science is its interdisciplinary nature and how an integrative approach can be used to develop mutually beneficial solutions to some of society's most pressing challenges. Students in this program gain an understanding of science methodologies and applied analyses. The faculty consists of natural and social scientists that have extensive experience working on issues in coastal environments as well as working with communities to sustainably mitigate and manage interactions with them. Led by our world-renowned faculty, our students will apply field methods, instrumentation, and data analysis to study the natural and human environment. |
