Welcome!
We welcome you to the Department of Environmental Science & Technology (ENST), and would like to give you a closer look at our undergraduate courses and concentrations.
ENST offers a unique and challenging academic program that not only will train you to understand environmental systems and issues, but also give you multidisciplinary quantitative and analytical tools to address complex environmental problems. We do this by blending interactive teaching and learning, field research, and laboratory work which can lead you to an important and worthwhile career. We hope to inspire you to integrate natural systems with the built environment to solve environmental problems, to improve ecosystem health and promote the sustainability of natural resources across the globe, and to become a force to be reckoned with.
