Description
The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies degree is designed to provide students with a critical foundation in both the scientific and human foundation of environmental systems. It also prioritizes mastery of skills that will position students for future success as environmental professionals . In their first two years, all environmental studies majors complete introductory courses in critical scientific disciplines—including focusing on food, water, and climate resources—and in essential human dimensions—including sustainable development, environmental health, and environmental justice. Lastly, all students take required skill-building courses that are designed to promote success with desired co-op and career opportunities. Students may opt for a concentration specifically designed to cover the breadth of areas where people and the environment intersect.
