Stevenson University

What you'll study

Coursework typically covers core environmental science topics (ecology, conservation, environmental chemistry), methods for field and laboratory data collection, geographic information systems (GIS), and an introduction to environmental law and policy. Applied components often include field-based labs, data analysis projects, and a capstone or research experience that integrates technical skills with real-world problem solving.

Entry requirements

Applicants are usually expected to have a high-school diploma or equivalent with coursework in biology, chemistry, and mathematics. Admissions teams look for evidence of quantitative aptitude and an interest in environmental issues; some programmes may require or recommend substantial outdoor or volunteer experience and a personal statement outlining relevant interests.

Career prospects

Graduates can move into roles such as environmental technician, GIS analyst, conservation specialist, environmental policy assistant, or sustainability coordinator. The degree also prepares students for further study in environmental science, resource management, or related professional fields where scientific literacy and field skills are valued.

Scholarships & funding angle

Prospective students should explore institutional merit and need-based scholarships, external environmental or conservation grants, and paid internships that provide both funding and professional experience. Many students combine work-study, research assistantships, or cooperative education placements with scholarship support to reduce costs while gaining practical credentials.
