4 Want to create a sustainable world? ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE is THE DEGREE for you! You CAN make the world a better place! Interested? cals.arizona.edu/swes/ or see us on Facebook! UA Department of Soil, Water & Environmental Science School of Earth and Environmental Sciences

5 Environmental science is the scientific investigation of human interactions with natural systems. The goals of this Degree are to: 1. Offer a rigorous science-based preparation for careers; 2. Prepare students for graduate studies; 3. Help to attain a leadership role in multiple career venues; 4. Provide the tools needed to address problems related the environment. atural systems. The goals of the Bachelor of Environmental Science Degree are to: 1. Offer a rigorous science-based preparation for careers in environmental science; 2. Prepare students for graduate studies in environmental science; 3. Facilitate attaining a leadership role in academia, business, government, private organizations, or other career venues. 4. Provide the academic tools needed to address fundamental and applied problems related to human-inhabited parts of the Earth.

9 The Sustainable Plant Systems (SPS) program is jointly managed by the SWES Department and the School of Plant Sciences in CALS. This degree program provides a good base for students interested in work associated with field crops, permanent tree crop production, turf science, and/or a broad array of horticultural crops that are grown throughout the western United States and other regions in the world. Due to the flexible nature of this program, students can elect to focus on either Agronomy, Environmental Horticulture, Turf Science, Controlled Environment Agriculture, or Food Safety.
