The Environmental Science and Management (ENSM) Program is designed to allow students to combine courses in environmental engineering with related courses in an interdisciplinary area of emphasis. Interdisciplinary course work may come from a combination of courses from the following emphasis areas: Biological Sciences, Chemistry, Geosciences, Mathematics, Pharmaceutical Sciences, Physics, Political Science, and Business.

The program fills a need in industry and government for professionals with a broad understanding of the scientific aspects of environmental issues. Students enrolled in the program are generally expected to have a sufficient background in mathematics and chemistry (a minimum of one year of general chemistry).
