Environmental Studies (ENV)
Advisor: Peter Thompson
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 be pursued in conjunction with a second major.
Major: A total of 12 courses, to include the following:
- GEO 111 or 114, and 331;
- BIO 141, 142, and 321;
- POL 262 and 368, or ECB 102 and 325;
- ENG 350 or PHI 224;
- 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.
Electives suggested for students interested in environmental science include the following: BIO 209, 230, 254, 308, 320, 334; GEO 215, 280, 324, 332; CHE 202, 225; PHY 228.
Electives suggested for students interested in environmental policy and values include the following: ANT 314; EDU 480; ECB 213, 215, 223, 263; PHI 202, 221; POL 346, 349, 367; REL 202; SOC 313.
