Environmental Studies Department

The Department of Environmental Studies’ interdisciplinary and integrative curriculum is designed to equip students with key skills and knowledge to understand and confront complex environmental issues. The curriculum is rooted in the basic disciplines of ecology and conservation, earth science, and social science and policy. Field and integrative courses compel students to synthesize concepts, methods and practice from these essential disciplines. Undergraduate research opportunities and internships are emphasized. The department offers a BA, BS, and a Minor in Environmental Studies and a joint 5-year BS/MPH with the Environmental and Occupational Health Department in the Rollins School of Public Health.
