Pre-Environmental Sciences Program

Presbyterian College offers a program in the field of environmental sciences and forestry in cooperation with the Duke University School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. If you are interested in this program, you will want to inform your pre-environmental sciences advisor early in your college career to plan your course of study.

In this program you will complete at least three years in an approved curriculum at PC. Once you have successfully completed the first semester of your junior year, you may apply for admission to the Duke School of Forestry and Environmental Studies. Applicants must have a minimum GPA of 3.0 and have completed at least 96 semester hours of course work-- including all general education requirements-- as well as general biology, botany, ecology, general chemistry, calculus, statistics and economics.

After one year of satisfactory completion of the program at Duke, you will receive your baccalaureate degree from PC. One year later upon satisfactory completion of your studies you will receive either a master's degree in forestry or environmental management from Duke.
