The B.S. Environmental Studies degree emphasizes the societal aspects of human-environment issues, along with a core set of courses in the Geosciences and basic sciences. It is designed to allow students to meet the environmental challenges of the 21st century and thus emphasizes the interconnections between science, techniques, policy, ethics and decision-making.

The B.S. Environmental Studies degree has three primary goals:

1. Provides a holistic view of human-environment interactions which illustrates the complex nature of the natural and man-made factors affecting Planet Earth;
2. Trains you in the analytical and technical skills required for an active career as an environmental professional, and
3. Gives you the necessary educational background for entry into graduate and professional schools.
