Goals for the Environmental Studies Major/Minor
The Environmental Studies program seeks to educate students to:
• Develop and compare potential solutions to environmental problems from local to global scales.
• Critically assess the relationships among the cultural, economic, ethical, scientific, and social dimensions of environmental issues.
• Integrate field-based, laboratory, and other forms of research used by scholars and practitioners.
• Build ability and confidence in communicating information to professional and public audiences.
• Create a cohesive and supportive interdepartmental community.
Sustainability Certificate Program Mission/Goals
Addressing the challenge of using Earth’s resources sustainably requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach, in which basic research about the causes and consequences of environmental problems is combined with an understanding of the incentives and processes for a large-scale reworking of economic activity and the technology with which to reconfigure the human effect on the natural world. Wellesley, Olin, and Babson Colleges are uniquely suited to address this challenge by providing a joint program capable of educating students in ways that each cannot accomplish alone. By truly integrating business, engineering, and the liberal arts in the service of environmental sustainability, this program will provide students with the cross-disciplinary academic preparation and the cross-campus cultural collaboration experiences needed to approach environmental issues holistically. This certificate program can serve as a complement to an Environmental Studies major or to any other major.
