In the labThrough the sciences:

  • Saint Michael's offers an Environmental Science major, which is intended to produce scientists well-grounded in chemistry, and the other sciences, and who are capable of addressing environmental problems through analytical laboratory studies.

  • Students with a strong
    interest in ecology, or the study of animals or plants, may wish to choose the Environmental Biology track within the Biology major.

  • Students interested in the biochemical effects of pollutants on living systems might wish to major in Biochemistry.

  • Those with interest in monitoring and remediation of pollutants may wish to major in Chemistry.

  • Students interested in careers in pollution control technologies might consider majors in Engineering or Physics.

Through an interdisciplinary approach:

Saint Michael's offers both a major and minor in 
Environmental Studies for students who wish to study environment from the perspectives of social science,
natural science and the humanities working together.

The Environmental Studies minor may be combined with any major, including the natural science majors, with the exception
of the Environmental Science major.
