Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate degree program:
B.S. in Environment & Society
A brief description of the undergraduate degree program:
The B.S. S.T.E.M. degree in Environment & Society explores how humans affect and are affected by changes in the natural environment. It combines courses from the social sciences and the natural sciences to investigate today’s pressing environmental issues, such as ecosystem management, climate change, natural resource conservation, food production, marine exploitation, urban sustainability, land use planning, severe storm mitigation, and environment health–including how those issues are debated, measured, evaluated and then formulated into public policy.

A brief description of the undergraduate degree program (2nd program):
Environmental Science is the interdisciplinary study of environmental systems from a scientific perspective. The scientific perspective shaping the undergraduate degree program draws principally from the areas of oceanography, geology, meteorology, biology, and chemistry. The Environmental Science program will prepare students in the broader area of geosciences and is an option for students seeking a broader interdisciplinary major with the rigor of mathematics and the physical sciences at its core.
FSU offers both the BS and BA degrees in Environmental Science. The BA degree differs from the BS degree in lower-level mathematics requirements and a greater emphasis on policy. The goals of both programs are to prepare exceptionally well-qualified graduates to successfully work in the interdisciplinary earth sciences, whether in government agencies, NGOs, or the private sector. Environmental Science also provide a strong basis for graduate study in environmental and interdisciplinary earth sciences.
