专业详情

Our bachelor’s degree in environmental science offers an immersive, multifaceted experience that leverages the resources of a diverse, world-class university. Emphasizing real-world practice, students collaborate with companies, organizations and communities to solve pressing environmental challenges. This hands-on approach allows students to create their experience, utilizing UCLA’s campus, the city of Los Angeles and California’s vast natural areas as living laboratories.

Upon graduation, 80% of our students enter environmental professions, while others pursue careers in social science, business, the arts and more. The curriculum combines physical and life sciences, including chemistry, biology, mathematics, and physics, with social sciences and humanities courses. This comprehensive education is designed to prepare students to address complex environmental issues.

Through partnerships with departments across campus, students benefit from a broad education that equips them to tackle pressing environmental challenges. Additionally, our Environmental Science Colloquium offers students academic credit for attending lectures and symposiums presented by global experts, providing a platform to stay abreast of cutting-edge research.

IoES hosts premier events focusing on topics such as renewable energy, GMOs and transportation, engaging broad audiences and fostering communication with the public, stakeholders and decision-makers. This emphasis on communication is a fundamental aspect of environmental science and a key feature of our academic programs.
