This is a science degree providing a systematic study of Gods created environment. It includes courses in math, chemistry, physics, biology, air, soils, and water pollution to provide an overall understanding of the many factors which lead to environmental issues and their solutions. Since most environmental issues dealing with human activities, a study of economics, Christian ethics, law, and social sciences will be covered in conjunction with the required science topics.
