st. Mary’s students can pursue either a bachelor of Arts or bachelor of science in environmental science, depending on the level of math a student elects to pursue. both degree options require 48 core credits in environmental science, with an additional eight hours of calculus required for the bachelor of science. students also select from elective courses to focus their studies in different concentration areas.

ENVIrONMENTALSCIENCEis the study of how we affect, and are affected by, our surroundings. Government agencies and the private industry employ environmental scientists to examine our air, water and soil and to establish policies that ensure the environment is safe, and that our resources are used in a sustainable way.

St. Mary’s is recognized by The Carnegie Foundation forinstitutional focus on service and civic engagement.

St. Mary’s is named first in Texas by Forbes magazine for helping women succeed in science, engineering, technology and mathematics.

HANDS-ON EXPErIENCEThe st. Mary’s environmental science program emphasizes an active student-learning experience. Course laboratories encourage students to investigate the complexity of natural systems, and most of the courses include field trips to area environmental landmarks such as enchanted rock, natural bridge Caverns and the blue Wing solar Project. students often participate in faculty-guided research and travel to professional society meetings where they present results and network with environmental scientists in the industry. students also plan the earth science extravaganza—an educational outreach program that invites local elementary students to visit st. Mary’s and explore their environment through the eyes of a scientist.

In 1960, four St. Mary’s students out on a spelunking trek near New Braunfels discovered one of the state’s largest, most majestic cave systems, part of what is known now as Natural Bridge Caverns.
