Environment has come to occupy a central place in modern development parlance. Growing concerns about the sustainability of the modern economic growth process has transformed environment science into an increasingly significant area of study. 

This program covers a range of relevant topics that are critical to understanding the interaction between man and his environment. It takes a multidisciplinary approach to learning which is most aptly combined with economics for better future job prospects as environmental economists. The importance of environment in the philosophy of GNH makes study of this subject all the more relevant in the context of today’s Bhutan.

Elevated interest and concern for the environment has not been the preserve of governments only. With knowledge of environmental science, graduates can also guide companies in green practices ― preventing pollution, reducing waste, appropriate use of energy, materials and natural resources.

Many faculty members are involved in research which offers students the added bonus of being involved. Regular field trips provide yet another real world experience, which is a great learning tool that increases the marketability of EVS graduates.
Due in part to the current spotlight on the environment, graduates of this program are in high demand. Current jobs in this diverse and expanding field focus on land use and natural resources, environmental protection, conservation and preservation of natural resources, and environmental sustainability.
