Dig into science

Step into the Environmental Science and Engineering (ESE) track, where you’ll dig into the science behind clean air, safe water, sustainable cities, and the systems that keep our world running. In this immersive track, you’ll dive into the major with hands-on activities that let you examine the environmental questions shaping our future. Along the way, you’ll experience what it’s really like to study ESE, explore research methods used in the field, and learn how scientists turn data into solutions that move the needle on global challenges. You’ll hear directly from faculty, staff, and current students, gaining an inside look at the many career pathways the major can branch into. With immersive activities, expert guidance, and an inside look at the ESE major, this track is the perfect opportunity to discover how environmental science can shape a brighter (and greener) future.
