The ES Curriculum (pdf version)

For all Students Declaring an Enviromental Studies Major/Minor, except those students that matriculated before Fall, 2004.

Any Interdisciplinary Introductory Environmental Studies Course:
Examples include: Biodiversity, Energy, Global Change, and Water. These courses are typically co-taught by two professors from different disciplines and/or include guest lectures by professors or other specialists from different disciplines to introduce the interdisciplinary approach to environmental studies. Select the introductory course that best suits your interests. Juniors and Seniors are asked/allowed to substitute a core course for this introductory requirement. The selected core course must be from outside the division of the student's disciplinary major/minor.
Required by majors and minors.

"Core" Environmental Studies Courses
A selection of cross-listed departmental courses, each with significant environmental content. These courses are selected from the Humanities, Social Sciences and Natural Sciences and highlight the interdicaiplinary nature of the Environmental Studies degree. Careful selection of the "Core" and "Elective" courses allows a student to satisfy one of many areas of concentration defined below.
Required by majors and minors.

"Elective" Environmental Studies Courses
These cross-listed courses provide the opportunity to investigate pressing environmental concerns, e.g., global climate change, or specific areas of concentration, e.g., Environmental Science, Social Ecology, Concepts of Nature, Public Policy or Aquatic Studies.
Required by majors and minors.

The Senior Integrative Experience
An individual or group "CAPSTONE" interdisciplinary course on any environmental issue. Work one-on-one with a professor on your topic, or work with a group of seniors, and present your results to the Environmental Studies community. An "environmental" internship may satisfy this requirement. See link on left to listing of past projects.
