Environmental Science

The environmental science program at Keuka College combines specialized courses in environmental science with courses in biology, chemistry, and physics. The major-specific courses emphasize ecosystem dynamics, embedded with the essential laboratory and field techniques. Keuka Lake provides an easily accessible resource for instruction and research. Students also have the opportunity to interact with community groups with interest in the science of the environment (The Keuka Lake Association and Cornell Cooperative Extension). The environmental science program provides preparation for skilled-technical jobs in environmental science or for continuing study.

This interdisciplinary environmental science minor allows students to broaden their exposure to environmental topics and applications at a deeper level than introductory coursework allows and is a great complement to many other disciplines both in and out of the sciences.
