Environmental Studies
This program is a multidisciplinary, student-designed major and concentration offered through the Center for Interdisciplinary and Special Studies. Focusing on the causes, mechanisms, and effects of environmental problems, students construct their own program of study, taking courses from three or more disciplines to provide a comprehensive understanding of environmental issues.
Some Environmental Studies requirements may be fulfilled by completing a research project or participating in a semester away. Many students choose to go abroad through the School for Field Studies (SFS), which offers programs in Australia, Costa Rica, Kenya, Mexico, and the Turks and Caicos Islands.
Students are encouraged to apply for acceptance into this program in their first or second years.
