Environmental science is a multidisciplinary academic field that integrates physical, biological and information sciences (including but not limited to ecology, biology, physics, chemistry, zoology, mineralogy, oceanology, limnology, soil science, geology, atmospheric science, geography and geodesy) to the study of the environment, and the solution of environmental problems. Environmental science emerged from the fields of natural history and medicine during the Enlightenment.[1] Today it provides an integrated, quantitative, and interdisciplinary approach to the study of environmental systems.[2] Related areas of study include environmental studies and environmental engineering. Environmental studies incorporates more of the social sciences for understanding human relationships, perceptions and policies towards the environment.

Environmental Science | EnvironmentalScience.org Environmental Scientists and Specialists For most jobs, environmental scientists and specialists need at least a bachelor’s degree in a natural science. Education For most entry-level jobs, environmental scientists and specialists must have a bachelor’s degree in environmental science or a science-related field, such as biology, chemistry, physics, geosciences, or engineering. However, a master’s degree may be needed for advancement. Environmental scientists and specialists who have a doctoral degree make up a small percentage of the occupation, and this level of training is typically needed only for the relatively few postsecondary teaching and basic research positions. A bachelor’s degree in environmental science offers a broad approach to the natural sciences. Students should look for opportunities, such as classes and internships, that allow for work with computer modeling, data analysis, and geographic information systems. Important Qualities Analytical skills. Communication skills. Interpersonal skills. Self-discipline.
