Environmental Science and Policy
Environmentally-focused faculty and students, representing every unit and school in the College, have put together one of the most innovative and integrative environmental programs in the nation. Our undergraduate program offers integrative courses at every level from our freshman core course (ENSP101) to multidisciplinary sophomore courses (ENSP200-249) and discussion seminars focused on global environmental topics (ENSP250); all the way through to hands-on, applied capstone seminars (ENSP440) and research experiences (ENSP490). Throughout the curriculum, we stress the importance of integrating knowledge and skills from the natural, physical, social sciences, and humanities to solve current environmental problems within ethical, economic, and politically-realistic frameworks.
