The environmental science major is a multidisciplinary program based on a strong general science curriculum and an environmental curriculum that focuses on environmental problems and solutions.
Options permit an area of specialty.
Although administered by the Department of Agronomy and Horticulture, a multidisciplinary advisory committee recommends curriculum and other changes to the program. The program is rigorous to make graduates competitive for environmentally oriented careers in industry and government. The official class requirements for any degree are the requirements contained in the university catalog. For example, a student who begins their study at NMSU during the Fall semester 1997 must meet the requirements of the degree posted in the 1997-1998, or later, university catalog. Exceptions to this rule include transfer students who may select the university catalog in effect when they began their college career.
