CAREER OUTLOOK

Growth in the environmental sector continues to gain strength. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, demand for Environmental Managers is expected to grow 11% through 2026, which is higher than the national average. As public interest in environmental hazards continues to rise due to the increasingly dense human population, businesses will consult with environmental professionals to minimize their impact on the environment. Environmental jobs will remain in state and local government, but these professionals can find work providing consulting services in the private sector.

Our graduates have positions such as Sustainability Analyst, Environmental Supervisor, Director of Environmental Services, Environmental Health Field Supervisor, Environmental Protection Specialist, Consultant, Environmental Planner, and Renewable Resources Coordinator.
