A bachelor's degree in environmental science or some science related field is required for most entry-level jobs. Acceptable fields of study would include: chemistry, engineering, biology, geosciences or physics. I would also recommended that you seek opportunities such as internships and classes that allow for work with data analysis, computer modeling, and geographic information systems. Alan with experience in these programs you'll be better suited for the job market upon graduation.
