The Environmental Sciences Program at FCCU focuses on environmental problems in Pakistan and beyond, and their causes. Through course work, interactive field excursions, and possibly research as well, the students should develop an understanding of the many environmental challenges Pakistan faces. They should get an appreciation of what is required for the conservation, restoration of the environment and what it means to make the environment more sustainable while meeting local, national and international needs. The Environmental Sciences Program encompasses multiple scientific disciplines including Physics, Chemistry, Earth Geography, Ecology and Biology. Environmental scientists are in great demand for environmental monitoring, helping to interpret the impact of human actions on ecosystems, and developing strategies to prevent the continued degradation of natural resources and ecosystem and to restore such systems when damaged.
