Environmental Science combines many facets of the biological, chemical, physical, and quantitative sciences in the study of natural systems. Some of the most critical challenges in the 21st Century relate to understanding environmental trends and human-induced changes on our planet. The Earth is a giant puzzle, and its systems are changing rapidly. Environmental Science allows us to understand these changes in space and time, and helps us understand and predict future challenges.

Through a combination of coursework, Co-operative Education jobs, and independent student research, the Environmental Science program at Antioch College helps students gain proficiencies in: applying quantitative and discipline-based skills for environmental problem-solving, writing and speaking effectively to communicate issues in the field, and gaining real-world experience in environmental science problem-solving. Students design their own degrees and can choose from courses in Biology, Chemistry, Environmental Science, Math, and Physics, as well as other subjects that complement a Liberal Arts education. Additional coursework may be accessed through the SOCHE cross-registration program, where Antioch students can enroll in a limited number of courses at nearby institutions. To complete their degree, each student pursues a senior project of their own design, supported by Antioch Faculty, to investigate a topic in Environmental Science. Located in Ohio’s Miami River Valley, the Antioch College campus is surrounded by forest, streams, meadows, rivers, wetlands, and other natural resources to enrich your education and recreational experience.
