• Environmental Studies offers the opportunity to examine human relations with their environments from diverse perspectives.
  • The major encourages interdisciplinary study in: 
    • social sciences, including anthropology, political science, law, economics, and ethics;
    • humanities, to include history, literature, religion, and the arts; and
    • natural sciences, such as biology, ecology, human health, geology, and chemistry.
  • Students may pursue either a B.A. or a B.S. degree within Environmental Studies. The B.A. program is intended for students who wish to concentrate in the social sciences and humanities. The B.S. program encourages students to focus in the natural sciences, especially fields such as environmental health and medicine, ecology, and climate science. Both degree programs culminate in a senior essay project that is commonly preceded by independent summer research.
