Stamford University Bangladesh
Greetings from the Department of Environmental Science at Stamford University Bangladesh!
Environment belongs to all living and non-living things; and hence is vital to everyone. Environmental problems like global warming, ozone layer depletion, forest loss, energy resource depletion, biodiversity loss, etc., impact our lives. Therefore, it is essential to consider how humans and the planet will interact in the future in order to arrive at a comprehensive understanding and fundamental answers for the environmental issues.
In response to environmental concerns, Stamford University Bangladesh (SUB) established the Department of Environmental Science (DoES) as an undergraduate and graduate interdisciplinary program. The programs are intended to look into current environmental challenges with an emphasis on various aspects that impact humans and their environments. Our graduates can develop their careers in diverse fields ranging from public policy to environmental sciences.
Thanks to the present curriculum's exciting opportunities for a wide range of professions in home and abroad.
As the chair of this department, I am proud to invite you to explore our work in addressing some of the most pressing environmental challenges that we are facing today.
We look forward to work together for a greener and sustainable environment!
