Bachelor of Science

UNE's Bachelor of Science is a flexible, major-driven degree that benefits from the university's genuine research strength in a handful of specific areas: animal genetics and agricultural science given UNE's long history in that space, and environmental and geospatial science given the university's location in the New England tablelands, which functions as a living field laboratory for students studying ecology, geology, or environmental management.

The major list covers the standard science range (biology, chemistry, mathematics, physics, environmental science) plus some options that reflect UNE's specific institutional history, like animal science and geospatial science, majors that a smaller or more generalist science faculty elsewhere might not offer with the same depth.

Field-based units take advantage of the region directly: students in ecology and environmental science majors do fieldwork in the surrounding New England tablelands and gorge country rather than relying purely on simulated data, and the university's rural setting, which can be a drawback for some degrees, is a genuine asset for this one.
