Environmental Studies major joins Department of Geography & Urban Studies July 1, 2008
Starting in the 2008-09 academic year, the BA in Environmental Studies becomes part of the Department of Geography and Urban Studies (GUS). The requirements for the major remain the same - with one exception: Geographic Information Systems is now a required, rather than an elective, course. Explore the Environmental Studies major at www.temple.edu/env-stud, and consider options for a double major or major-minor combination with GUS.
