The B.A. in Environmental Studies prepares students as professionals and citizens of the world for work in environmental careers. Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary program that instills in students an ability to understand the relationships between humans and environments, and humanity's impact on different environments. Students work individually and collaboratively to acquire the knowledge, skills, attitudes, and motivation to seek out solutions to global environmental issues. Through interdisciplinary study in science, the social sciences, and the humanities, Environmental Studies encourages students to embrace the interconnections in knowledge and the environment in order to deal with the complexities of environmental, cultural, and social issues that are local, national, and global in scale.
