Degree Requirements for
B.A. in Environmental Studies
The program starts with a series of courses that provide an overview of
environmental science and how we shape and experience the world around us.
In these courses students examine the different biotic and abiotic
components of the environment as well as sustainable resource management,
pollution, endangered species, population, and the challenge of limited
resources.
Further courses examine the relationship between society and the
environment including environmental ethics, economics, and law. Developing
solutions by working with people is emphasized throughout the program.
Students are expected to participate in field studies and develop
projects in environmental restoration or sustainable resource management.
Improving resource use on campus serves as an ongoing project.
