Dyson College of Arts and Sciences 77 Environmental Center The Environmental Center, a component of the Dyson College Department of Biological Sciences, also serves as a resource to the Pace and outside community. The center also works closely with the School of Education. Con- structed on the Pleasantville campus around the remnants of an old farm it is enhanced by characteristics valuable to nature study including nature trails and a pond. The center provides an important support component to the academic activities of Pace by hosting classes and housing the Environmental Clinic. Students from the University and local high schools also work closely with faculty at the Center, designing and pursuing individualized internships. The Environmental Center also provides the home for N.A.T.U.R.E., the Pleasantville campus environmental club, which is run by students. Environmental education courses and seminars are offered at the center, and incorporate the unique natural setting of the facility into the learning experience. A graduate course for environmental education is held each summer for teachers interested in incorporating environmental studies into their classrooms. During the school year, teachers bring classes to learn about the topics related to wildlife and ecology. Annual events such as the Harvest Day Festival, and Earth Day provide students and the outside community with unique activities. The center also sponsors fishing seminars, birds-of-prey-programs, and summer nature camps. For more information, call (914) 773-3789 or e-mail aspillo@pace.edu. FORENSIC SCIENCE MAJOR Bachelor of Science (NYC) Prepares students for employment in forensic laboratories and criminal investigation units where demand for compe- tent crime scene investigators is rapidly growing, as well as in biological and chemical research and in the pharma- ceutical industry. It also enables students to go on for graduate study in forensic science, biology, chemistry, and biochemistry, and to apply to medical and dental schools. Students choosing to continue on for the master of science in forensic science must apply for acceptance during the first term of their senior year. Based on eligibil- ity, some students may take their graduate internship during the last semester of their senior year. See the full Dyson core for all listings and requirements.
