Secondary Major

The Environmental Studies secondary major is taken in addition to one's first major and provides the breadth of preparation and integrated perspective necessary to understand environmental issues.

Requirements

Students seeking a major in Environmental Studies complete 24 credits of EnvS coursework including:

(1) at least one general survey course chosen from EnvS 101, 120, 123, and 201,
(2) at least one integrative/issues course chosen from EnvS 324, 340, 342, 404, 424, and 450, and
(3) at least two human/societal perspectives courses chosen from EnvS 303, 334, 345, 380, 382, 472, 482, 484, and 491.

Beyond these three requirements, any Environmental Studies course and up to six credits of approved departmental coursework may be applied toward the 24 credit total for the major. Regardless of their home college, Environmental Studies majors must complete 12 credits of approved coursework in natural science including coursework from life sciences and physical sciences. Since Environmental Studies is a secondary major, courses used in the major may also be used to satisfy general education and other requirements of departments and colleges. A combined average grade of C or higher is required in courses applied to the major.
