Concentrations
concentration · 0 items
There are three concentrations in the Environmental Studies major intended to serve a variety of different student interests and possible career choices. Each concentration has a skills, content, and elective section. Preferably by their junior year, students will select one of the concentrations for their major program: 1) Health, 2) Policy, Planning & Law, or 3) Politics & Society. Many courses are found in more than one concentration, and while switching between concentrations is discouraged, it is possible if needed. In special cases, courses can be substituted within concentrations with the permission of the faculty advisor or program director. At least three EVST courses must be taken in a concentration and at least one required content course in a concentration must be a 3-4 credit EVST course. Elective courses can be from the skills, content, or elective areas within a concentration.
