The work of conservation and environmental science takes serious commitment, and it is tremendously rewarding and fun. We often see lists of challenges and environmental disasters, which make us think that this work is about solving all the problems. That is part of it, but if you are considering a course of study in CES, it will be important to identify personal ambitions that align with helping others in your community as well as addressing wider environmental concerns. This approach requires the integration and interpretation of social, natural, and physical sciences. Coursework in the undergraduate interdisciplinary major provides training in areas such as ecosystem management, natural resources conservation, and environmental education.
