The additional major in Environmental and Sustainability Studies is designed to allow undergraduate students from any college at Carnegie Mellon University to complement the depth of their primary major and address the breadth of intrinsically interdisciplinary issues associated with the environment and sustainability.

The additional major is completed with a Environmental and Sustainability Studies Senior Capstone, where students formulate a research question, identify discipline-specific methods for exploring or answering the questions posed, and use the chosen methods to gather and analyze evidence.
