Environmental Management
The Environmental Management concentration prepares students who wish to focus on the management of pollution in the air, land, and water. Students who complete this concentration have the theoretical foundation and applied skills needed to characterize hazards, track the fate and transport of pollutants, identify health and environmental effects of pollutants, and plan and manage programs to control environmental hazards. The required courses in the concentration focus on identification and solving multimedia problems in solid and hazardous waste, water quality and wastewater treatment, and air quality in the outdoors, inside homes, or in industrial workplaces. The options allow students to focus more specifically on the assessment of pollution, policy and planning, or occupational safety and health. Students are prepared for careers in government, industry, and nonprofit agencies.
