Environmental Studies (ENV)
Advisor: Benjamin Greenstein
Major: A minimum of 12 courses (11 courses if CHE 161 is taken), to include four 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):
BIO 141 Foundations: Cellular Biology
BIO 142 Foundations: Organismal Biology
BIO 321 Ecology or an accredited off-campus ecology course
GEO 111 Physical Geology or GEO 114 Investigations in Geology
Concentrations:
Environmental Sciences
CHE 121-122 Chemical Principles I & II or CHE 161 Accelerated General Chemistry
GEO 331 Environmental Geology
ENG 350 American Nature Writers or PHI 224 Environmental Ethics
POL 262 American Politics
POL 368 Environmental Politics or POL 371 Wilderness Politics
Two (2) electives
Environmental Policy and Values
GEO 331 Environmental Geology
PHI 224 Environmental Ethics
POL 262 American Politics
POL 368 Environmental Politics or POL 371 Wilderness Politics
Five (5) electives
Marine Sciences
CHE 121-122 Chemical Principles I & II or CHE 161 Accelerated General Chemistry
CHE 202 Analytical Chemistry or CHE 225 Organic Chemistry I
ENV 380 Internship, ENV 390 Individual Project, or an accredited summer field course in marine science
GEO 105 Marine Science
GEO 217 Invertebrate Paleontology
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 or above the 200 level, 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.
