Environmental Sciences

The LdM Environmental Sciences Department is a part of the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) program allowing students to better comprehend Italian influence in science and research. The Department aims for students to develop critical thinking and scientific literacy, while exploring the interactions of the human effect on the natural environment.

The Department’s curriculum offers courses that investigate the principles of environmental science and ecology while addressing issues such as water resources and sustainable energy. Students examine pollution, ecology, and biodiversity as they apply practical solutions learned in field laboratory sessions that take place in unique natural habitats in and around Rome. 

The Environmental Science Department at LdM is open to both science and non-science majors. For STEM students, a core requirement of the study is a course examining important scientists in a historical framework, giving them an extensive perspective on the scientific background of Italy.
