Environmental Studies, B.A.
Program Overview
Do you have a love for the environment? Do you wonder how the world works? Are you interested in the impact humans are having on the planet? If so, a major in Environmental Studies could be right for you! Environmental Studies provides an overview of how science affects our environment, focusing on interactions between the solid Earth, its water, its air, and its living organisms, and on dynamic, interdependent relationships between these four components.
A Major in Environmental Studies leading to a B.A. degree consists of a minimum of 55 credit hours of Geography and Earth Sciences and extra-departmental courses in three subgroups: Health and Development, Resources and Conservation, and Planning, Policy, and Society. Students can focus their major elective credits in any of the subgroup areas, tailoring the degree to specific interests and careers.
