Students admitted to the Environmental Science program can elect to focus their studies on an ecological area of the discipline through the Freshwater & Terrestrial Ecology major. The Freshwater and Terrestrial Ecology emphasis has the same prerequisites and the same required areas and credit requirements as the broader Environmental Science major. The Freshwater and Terrestrial Ecology emphasis is accomplished by selecting from courses that have been approved to meet the requirements for this major. These courses serve to fulfill the credit requirements in the four general areas that are part of all the Environmental Science majors: a capstone course, two lecture-lab combinations, an environmental applications experience, and any additional credits needed to fulfill the total credit requirement. The courses that can be applied to the Freshwater and Terrestrial Ecology emphasis have been selected because they are relevant to meet the needs for a career and for graduate study that engages with freshwater and terrestrial ecology.
Students wishing to complete the Environmental Science Freshwater & Terrestrial Ecology major in four years should complete the general chemistry series and the general biology series during their freshman and sophomore years. Prospective environmental science majors are strongly advised to take additional preparatory courses that provide a strong background in chemistry, biology and mathematics. The preparatory courses are listed with the major; preparatory classes may also be used to fulfill GURs. All preparatory courses required for admission should be completed on a lettered or numeric grading scale, not P/NP, and must be completed with a grade of C- or better.

Optional Practical Training or OPT is a period during which students, who have completed their degrees in the USA, are permitted to work for one year on a student visa by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). OPT allows students to work for up to 3 years and develop real-world skills to survive in the competitive jobs market.
It is temporary employment for a period of 12-months that is directly related to the major area of study of an F-1 student. Eligible students have the option to apply for OPT employment authorization before completing their academic studies and/or after completing their academic studies.
A student can participate in three types of Optional Practical Training (OPT):
