Why study environmental science and business at Northwestern?

You can receive practical training from faculty who are experts in their fields, both in biology and in business. You will learn to translate research and scientific findings into applications for corporate settings. In this program you have the choice of a General Business track or a Marketing track.

Northwestern is blessed to be located on a beautiful campus with 30 acres of forest attached to a large lake. Having close access to this aquatic and terrestrial environment allows you to study the environment right on campus. Here you can learn about God’s creation using a hands-on approach. Northwestern students are currently working with Ramsey Conservation District to help restore the Lake Johanna shoreline. You also have the opportunity to gain experience in environmental courses through the Au Sable Institute in northern Michigan.

At Northwestern, we offer small and personalized classes. This enable professors to work with you individually to empower you to be a steward over God’s creation and to protect our limited natural resources. You can grow in your faith both inside and outside of the classroom to gain a deeper appreciation for the world around you. With campus so close to downtown Minneapolis and St. Paul, students can take advantage of opportunities in Minnesota’s thriving business and science industries.

If you have a love for nature and a mind for business and want to ensure our natural resources are not depleted and indigenous cultures are not wiped out and are interested in a career in government, business, or the environment, this might be the right degree for you.
