ENVISIONING SOLUTIONS FOR ENVIRONMENTAL CHALLENGES

Our Environmental Science program is designed for students interested in a scientific perspective on environmental issues. As you work towards your degree, you will gain both basic and applied knowledge of environmental science. The culmination of your study will involve a capstone research project comprised of laboratory or fieldwork with a faculty member. This course of study prepares you to continue on to a graduate program or begin a career in environmental science.

Did you know? This program has STEM designation and also puts students on track to complete a joint degree in occupational therapy, optometry, podiatry, and pharmacy with a partnered school. Learn about the benefits of STEM, including an extension for international students, and the requirements for a pre-health joint degree program.

Cleaning the Hudson, One Billion Oysters at a Time

New York City and Pleasantville Environmental Policy student clinicians are some of the Hudson River's greatest advocates, regularly tackling real-world environmental issues by collaborating with regional organizations to design and implement policy reform. As part of their coursework, they visited Governor's Island to get a first-hand look at how their policy work affects non-profits like the Billion Oyster Project, a NYC-based ecosystem restoration and education project.

Environmental Research Supported by the NSF

Assistant Professor of Environmental Science Matthew Aiello-Lammens, PhD, along with colleagues from CUNY and Yale, have been awarded a $593K grant from the National Science Foundation to develop software tools for studying species distributions. The grant will support the training of graduate students at Pace University, with their initial focus on species in danger of extinction.
