The environment is the domain of many disciplines; therefore, the student interested in environmental studies will best be served within the broad context of liberal education. However, to assure depth in at least one discipline, it is recommended that the environmental studies major by pursued in conjunction with a second major.

  3. ENG 350 or PHI 224;
  4. Four additional courses numbered 200 or above, selected by the student and approved by the program advisor.

INT 201 (Statistics) is recommended for all majors. CHE 121-122 are strongly recommended for those interested in environmental science.
