Welcome to the Environmental Sciences
Program at SUNY College at Oneonta.
 ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCES NOW PART OF PROJECT KALEIDOSCOPE
Environmental Sciences at SUNY Oneonta is 1 of 32 programs at colleges and universities nationwide selected to participate in Project Kaleidoscope (http://www.pkal.org/activities/PVIIDST.cfm), a National Science Foundation and W.M. Keck Foundation supported organization dedicated to improving education. These campuses are committed to the goal of facilitating interdisciplinary learning in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) within the undergraduate learning environment. What this means for our students is that they are part of a Program dedicated to preparing its graduates to deal with the world’s most complicated problems by infusing interdisciplinarity throughout the Environmental Sciences curriculum. From the natural sciences to the social sciences, from collecting field data to addressing administrative policies – our Environmental Sciences majors will be on the forefront of solving today’s and tomorrow’s environmental problems.
Environmental Sciences is an interdepartmental and multidisciplinary major. Students are exposed to theoretical and practical topics in biology, earth sciences, and environmental planning. Students choose one of these three concentrations, and supporting courses from chemistry, political sciences, psychology, statistics, and philosophy round out the environmental curriculum.
If you are interested in this major, browse through the site's information (this is a new site, so currently only a few links are up and working). Please feel free to request additional information (see link at left), set up a visit, or contact me directly.
