Students will be equipped with the scholarly background and intellectual skills to understand a wide range of pressing environmental issues, and they will come to appreciate the physical, economic, political, demographic, and ethical factors that define those issues. Among the many environmental problems central to our program are groundwater contamination, suburban sprawl, river basin management, environmental justice, and the greening of abandoned urban spaces. Our graduates find employment with government environmental agencies, citizens’ organizations, consulting firms, and corporate environmental affairs departments.
Offered jointly by the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Science and Technology, Environmental Studies includes both B.A. and B.S. options. A Minor also is offered, and a Certificate of Completion is an option for those already holding an undergraduate degree in a different field.
The program and its requirements are described in full in the "Intercollegial Programs" section of this Bulletin.
