The Canisius Advantage
The environmental science program offers many opportunities for students to learn science through hands-on training. Students learn to use appropriate techniques and technologies in labs and two required internships. Small class sizes and faculty advisement also enhance the learning experience.
Environmental Science majors are well prepared for careers or for graduate school. Recent graduates have been hired immediately after graduation by Ecology and Environment, Waste Stream Technologies, U.S. Army Corps fo Engineers and Alaskan Observers. While others attend graduate schools including SUNY at Buffalo, Buffalo State College and Miami University (Ohio).
