A brief description of the undergraduate degree program:
The program in environmental studies is designed to allow students with an interest in environmental issues to pursue the study of the complex relationship between human beings and the natural environment in a systematic way. An individual completing a major or minor in environmental studies will develop a fundamental understanding of the scientific principles underlying the dynamics of ecosystems and become familiar with the historical, socio-political and economic factors that have shaped many of our current environmental dilemmas.
Environmental Studies will be a valuable addition to the education of students contemplating careers in science education, environmental law, resource economics, and administration in government or the private sector where a more sophisticated understanding of environmental issues has become increasingly important.
