Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate degree program:
Environmental Studies
A brief description of the undergraduate degree program:
The interdisciplinary major in environmental studies is designed to provide students with fundamental resources for understanding the complex and dynamic relations between humans and the natural world. The major integrates perspectives from the social sciences, the natural sciences, and humanities to develop the conceptual and analytic skills required for a balanced approach to environmental issues. Students completing a major in environmental studies also gain depth of knowledge in one specific area of study through a concentration. There are three concentrations within the major: Environmental Policy, Environmental Science, and Environment, Culture and Society. A student can also develop their own individualized concentration within the major with the assistance of a faculty member.
