Program Purpose
The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Policy (ES&P) degree is a 120-credit program offered face-to-face, online, and hybrid. The interdisciplinary STEM program draws upon undergraduate course offerings from the College of Nursing and Health Professions, College of Social and Behavioral Sciences, and College of Business and Technology. Students acquire the requisite skills to preserve and protect the limited and fragile natural resources in the state of Delaware and beyond.
The ES&P degree is practical, career-oriented, and a springboard for graduate education. Aligned with the University’s mission of providing exemplary career-oriented degrees, graduates can market themselves to local, state, and federal agencies; private and non-profit organizations; and academia, for a range of environmental science positions.

Field experience should be considered for students not already working in the ES&P field. A 15-credit semester would cover the 6-credit requirement for Co-op and 9 credits of Free Electives.
Co-op Education Experience for Science
A minimum of 120 credits are required to earn a Bachelor of Science in ES&P. Students with less than 16 transfer credits are required to take FYE 101 as one of their electives. Due to the mixture of 3 and 4-credit courses, students must be diligent and regularly meet with an academic advisor.
A completion degree is a personalized version of a bachelor's degree created exclusively for students who have completed an associate degree at an accredited institution. Completion degrees are available for most 香港伦理 Bachelor of Science degrees. A student who expects to transfer a completed associate's degree should communicate with a 香港伦理 academic advisor before registering for courses. A transcript with documentation of the conferred degree must be received by 香港伦理 to confirm eligibility.
A minimum passing grade of "C" is required for courses with prefixes: BIO, ENV, LES, and POL. MAT 308 requires a minimum passing grade of "C-."
