Everyday we are warned against a wide range of environmental crisis threatening the health and survival of human and all other living things in the world. Humans will have to pay for the long-term destruction of the environment on the earth.
Global economy seems to dwarf the earth gradually.
It is critical for our species to achieveharmonious coexistence of humankind and nature on this irreplaceable planet, the Earth. If we can fully understand the effects of human activities on the environment and meaningfully advocate the ways to sustain the environment, it may be the most essential proposal for world peace. Students majoring in Human Environmental Science are provided with skills to examinethe current status of the natural environment by means of laboratory experiments and field surveys, and opportunities to reconsider our life style in a scientific manner. Studying these subjects, students can obtain both macro- and microscopic perspectives, which help to approach environmental problems at higher levels such as the social structure and the ecosystem and to scrutinize them at lower levels such as chemicals and vital reactions. Students can also learn accurate knowledge on topics such as environmental hormones, gene engineering,biodiversity loss. and recent theories in this area.
