With an environmental science degree from Adelphi in New York on Long Island, you will gain the tools, training and hands-on experience you’ll need to help create a greener future.
As an interdisciplinary STEM field, you’ll have the knowledge and skills to help take on complex environmental issues. Make a difference as a high school teacher, investigate the causes and impacts of climate change or help manage natural resources such as wildlife habitat. As an environmental scientist, you may investigate solutions to pollution as a hydrologist or environmental chemist. Other opportunities exist as policy developer, marine biologist, or habitat restoration. Increasingly, there are employment opportunities in sustainable development such as solar and wind energy. You could develop skills using geographic information systems or GIS that is currently in high demand.
