Environmental science courses can help you learn about ecosystems, biodiversity, climate change, and environmental policy. You can build skills in data analysis, field research techniques, and environmental impact assessments. Many courses introduce tools like Geographic Information Systems (GIS) for mapping and analyzing environmental data, as well as statistical software for interpreting research findings. You'll also explore methods for sustainable resource management and strategies for addressing environmental challenges.
