COURSE CURRICULUM

The Environmental Science program at DePaul University is built on a strong foundation of natural sciences, preparing students to understand and address environmental challenges using scientific principles.Coursework in Biology helps students study living organisms and ecosystems, focusing on how plants, animals, and microorganisms interact within different environments. Chemistry provides an understanding of chemical processes in nature, including pollution, water quality, and soil composition.Environmental Science courses integrate these concepts to examine real-world environmental problems such as climate change, conservation, and ecosystem management. Students learn how human activity impacts natural systems and how science-based solutions can be developed.Mathematics is used to build analytical and problem-solving skills, allowing students to interpret environmental data, model natural processes, and evaluate scientific results accurately. Physics provides an understanding of energy, motion, and physical systems, which is essential for studying topics like atmospheric science, water flow, and environmental dynamics.Together, these subjects create a multidisciplinary scientific foundation that prepares students for research, fieldwork, and careers in environmental protection, sustainability, and related scientific fields.
