Mission-Oriented Education, Research, and Outreach


The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences pursues excellence in research, teaching, and outreach in areas of study that address the biological spectrum from organisms to ecosystems. Its emphasis is on both the fundamental sciences and the social and human dimensions. The school offers 21 undergraduate majors, including plant and animal sciences, entomology, microbiology, biotechnology, biochemistry, agriculture and food systems, landscape architecture, environmental planning and design, food and nutritional sciences, ecology and evolution, marine science and oceanography, environmental sciences and meteorology, human ecology, and environmental economics. 

In addition to instruction in the classroom, field, and laboratory, students have opportunities for experiential learning on and off campus, including a growing emphasis on international experiences through short- and long-term study abroad.  Students also have access to a robust program of applied research and outreach hosted by the New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station laboratories, farms, business incubators, and marine stations throughout the state.
