Environmental Sustainability and Human Ecology

You have inherited a world facing the fallout of centuries of human expansion. And not unlike other urban centers, the greater Baltimore area faces significant ecological challenges.

Prepare yourself to help your community deal with them--and join one of the nation's and the metro area's fastest growing fields.

Explore biological and environmental sciences through hands-on research and lab work; delve into the sociology of humans' relationships with their environment; and learn about the impacts of public policy on ecology and vice versa.

When you graduate, you'll be prepared to launch a career in such fields as:

  • environmental compliance
  • permitting
  • environmental hygiene
  • environmental interpretation
  • education
  • environmental consulting
  • local, regional and national government and nonprofit organizations.
