What is ESRM?
Environmental science (ES) is the study of the interaction and co-evolution of human, physical, and biological systems, including the impact of human activity on surrounding systems and human dependence on natural resources. Resource management (RM) determines the most beneficial uses of environmental resources and the most effective means of avoiding damage to environmental assets while considering costs and benefits, risks and uncertainties, limits of knowledge, institutional constraints, and social and political forces.
Today’s environmental problems require solutions that call for individuals who are educated in more than one discipline, highly trained in technical skills, and aware of the political, economic, and social dimensions of environmental decisions. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science and Resource Management (ESRM) develops knowledge of the physical, biological, and social sciences and provides solid training in the application of management science to reduce adverse impacts of human activity on the environment and maximize the benefits that accrue from environmental resources.
We focus on coastal sustainability from our own backyards to international waters.
