Environmental Studies
If you have an interest in environmental issues, you should definitely consider adding Environmental Studies to your program. We can make a customized program that weaves environmentally focused courses into your primary major.
Environmental Studies offers both a secondary major and a minor. These make great complimentary degrees with many primary majors. Some of the primary majors that would work well are Political Science, Journalism, English, Community & Regional Planning, Engineering, Physics, and Chemistry. Of course, many other majors could work well too.
It is important to note that Environmental Studies can not be your primary major. The secondary major and minor are designed to add a environmental perspective to one's first major.
Contact Richard Williams (dickwms@iastate.edu) for more information about how Environmental Studies can work with your major.
