Study Environmental and Field Biology at Ohio Northern University. Gain hands-on experience and prepare to protect our planet. Apply now!
Program Description The natural sciences form the backbone of the environmental and field biology program. Students take courses in biology, natural history, chemistry, botany, geology and ecology. They'll also explore other disciplines – like law and public policy – as they intersect with the environment. And they’ll learn how to lead, innovate, and find solutions to difficult problems. From the time they arrive on campus until they graduate, students will be guided by a faculty advisor. They’ll enjoy small class sizes and amazing friendships. ONU's dedicated professors will get to know them. They will support students in their coursework, research, internships, co-ops, and post-graduate or career preparations. They will become personally invested in students' success – in college and beyond. As freshmen, students will be in the lab or field working directly with their professors (not graduate assistants) investigating some of the most important environmental issues. Throughout their four years, students will design and conduct their own experiments, engage in mentored field research, and job-shadow environmental professionals. From interning at a government agency to spending a semester studying abroad, from presenting their research at a national conference to heading up a student organization – the opportunities open are truly incredible! Upon graduation, students will be ready to help preserve the planet for future generations. Their knowledge and skills will be in demand – no matter where their path leads them.
