What is Environmental Studies?
|
Environmental Studies is a discipline that explores relationships between humans and the natural world. Students study the built and natural environment, learn about human views and interactions with nature, and examine ways that politics, economics, the sciences, history, ethics, and philosophy influence human behavior in the natural world. Students who major in Environmental Studies are prepared to become thoughtful and effective environmental professionals, whatever career path they ultimately choose.

Approximately 1/3 of all Environmental Studies graduates go on to graduate or professional school within 5 years of graduation.
