The environmental science program at Defiance College gives graduates an understanding of the complex dynamics between the environment and the layers of communities that compose it. Students use critical reasoning and creative problem-solving skills to address issues that threaten global sustainability. To foster growth as scientists, students have access to the 250-acre Thoreau Wildlife Sanctuary as a living laboratory to conduct and analyze experiments.
