ANGOLA - Drawing on its strengths in the sciences and engineering, Trine University has launched a Bachelor of Science in environmental science degree program to equip students with the skills to understand and address the environmental challenges facing the planet.

Classes for the new program begin in August.

The Bachelor of Science in environmental science, which will be among programs offered in Trine’s Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences, prepares students for careers in fields related to the environment, law, health and safety or public policy.

“Environmental science aims to examine and enhance the health of our planet and the people on it,” said Lexie Staten, dean of the Rinker-Ross School of Health Sciences. “In today's ongoing conversations about environmental issues, it’s vital to develop well-trained professionals who can collect, analyze and interpret data related to the environment and the effect of human activities on it.”
