Environmental Studies
Increased government and private investment in
green technology combined with a growing
awareness of environmental challenges make
environmental science some of the fastest
growing — and best paying — emerging career
fields!
Goodwin College's Environmental Studies
program provides technical training for jobs in
this rapidly growing field while also focusing on
the scientific arguments for environmental
stewardship. Graduates gain real-world skills, as
well as a comprehensive understanding of the
factors that impact environmental health.
