Plant Resources focuses on the many uses of plants to solve environmental problems. Wetlands mitigation, reclamation of disturbed areas, and phytoremediation of polluted areas are possible applications. Waste Management is about how we deal with or prevent the mountains of garbage and other wastes that our society generates. Waste reduction, recycling, and proper disposal are all important issues in waste management. Environmental Science is based in the Department of Crop and Soil Environmental Sciences, but it is a strongly interdisciplinary program.
Scholarships are available for good students in the environmental sciences.
