A Major in Environmental Studies
Description of Major
This major takes an interdisciplinary approach to understanding environmental issues and problems. Beginning
with a strong foundation in science, the program is based on the premise that environmental problem solving
requires a working knowledge of all the aspects that impact current issues and conflicts. Hence, the program
curriculum includes disciplines ranging from political science, economics and ethics to biology, ecology, chemistry
and engineering. Given the breadth of academic training and the rigor of the Environmental Studies degree students
are at a distinct advantage as they seek internships, graduate study or employment.
