The B.S. in environmental sciences with an emphasis in water quality will train students with the scientific background and practical skills needed to successfully address environmental issues while also providing them with an understanding of water movement in terrestrial and aquatic systems and how this water movement impacts pollutant movement.  In addition students will understand how the presence of pollutants in aquatic systems impacts the water quality and how watersheds can be managed to minimize the presence of pollutants and their impact on human and environmental health.

• Graduates of this emphasis area would understand water movement and how water movement impacts pollutant movement.
• These graduates would be ideally suited for environmental consulting firms, government agencies such as USGS, and others
