What Environmental Scientists and Specialists, Including Health Earn in New Hampshire

The New Hampshire median for environmental scientists and specialists, including health is $80,810 per year, below the national median of $82,220, on state employment of 480 (BLS OEWS, May 2025).

These are statewide figures. The Bureau of Labor Statistics does not publish wages at city level, so no page can tell you what this job pays in Concord specifically. For the metro-level picture where it is published, and the full percentile spread, see the New Hampshire page.

Choosing a Environmental Science Program From Concord

The subject matter does not change by location: environmental chemistry, hydrology and geology, GIS and remote sensing, toxicology and risk assessment, and environmental policy. What changes is how you take it. Ask each college whether the program holds accreditation from a recognized institutional accreditor, how much of the coursework is delivered online, and which components require you on campus. Credit transfer is decided by the receiving institution and genuinely varies, so request a written transfer evaluation before you enroll.
