Environmental Science at Fredonia incorporates the strengths of Fredonia’s outstanding programs in Biology, Chemistry, and Geosciences to understand the Earth ecosystem as a whole. The program emphasizes field experiences where students collect environmental samples, analyze them, and produce comprehensive interpretations of the data. Students demonstrate their ability to conduct independent work in the environmental sciences through internships with local conservation departments, consulting firms or municipalities, or through research with a faculty member.
The Fredonia Difference
Advantages of the Fredonia program include many opportunities for student research, a program that focuses on experiential learning, and a wide variety of career choices. Fredonia’s location within the western corner of New York State provides unique water resources (e.g., the Great Lakes), soil and mineral characteristics (stemming from our shale bedrock), and atmospheric phenomena for students’ research.
