Overview
Professionals in environmental careers use scientific research and policy expertise to address global
and local ecological issues. Environmental careers include not only science but also careers in
government settings at all levels and in consulting firms and corporations. Environmentalists also
work for non-profit organizations. Writing, fund raising, program administration, education,
community organization, and scientific research are all skills used in environmental careers.
A number of environmental firms and agencies recruit through the Career Office including: GZA,
Geoenvironmental Inc., Malcolm Pirnie, Beals & Thomas, Black & Beateh, CDM, Parsons
