<p>Hi everyone,</p>

<p>My intended major in college is Environmental Sciences (of the College of Arts and Sciences at UA), and I was wondering if anyone knew anything about the ES major at Alabama. I qualify for the Presidential Scholarship, which is why Alabama is one of my top choices, but I can’t find a lot of information about their ES program. </p>

<p>I have read here on CC somewhere that UA has decent programs in some subfields of environmental science although it lacks highly quantitative ES or related major courses. </p>

<p>Is there anyone who knows anything about this program that could weigh in and give some advice? I love the merit aid at Alabama and the school sounds great, but I’m wondering if I should really look elsewhere with my intended major.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance! </p>

<p>I know the requirements for the major, I was just hoping to see if anyone had any feedback on the program at Alabama, or personal advice about this.</p>

<p>I don’t know much about the program, but if you are wanting something more quantitative, I suggest Alabama’s BS in Environmental Engineering instead. An engineering degree will look better for post grad employment as well.
