Environmental Studies (ENV)
Advisor: Paul Garvin
Major: A minimum of 11 courses, to include three core courses,
required courses from one of the three concentrations listed below, and
electives selected by the student and approved by the program advisor.
Internships, individual projects, and/or extended research may fulfill
elective credits. Electives cannot also fulfill requirements for other
majors or minors. To assure depth in at least one discipline, it is
recommended that the environmental studies major be pursued with a
second major.
Core Courses (Required of all Environmental Studies majors)
GEO 111 Physical Geology or GEO 114 Investigations in Geology
BIO 142 Foundations: Organismal Biology
BIO 321 Ecology or an accredited off-campus ecology course
Concentrations:

ECB 325 Economics of Environment and Conservation Seminar
Four (4) electives
Marine Sciences
GEO 105 Marine Science

science
Three (3) electives, at least two of which must be numbered 300 or above
Supporting coursework in mathematics and physics is strongly
recommended for students interested in pursuing graduate study
in marine science.
Electives must be at the 200 level or above, and must be chosen from the following courses (with recommendations for each concentration as indicated), or from the courses required for the three concentrations. GEO 512 (Geographic Information Systems) is recommended for all Environmental Studies majors but may not be counted as one of the required elective courses for the major.

the direction of the organization's leaders and a faculty supervisor.
Prerequisites: junior standing; at least one of the three required
300-level courses; approval by the participating institution, the
faculty supervisor, and one environmental studies advisor. See Index. Courses 280/380. (CR)
