Environmental Science and Policy

Environmental Science and Policy

1. Completing declaration forms

To declare your Environmental Science and Policy major/minor you will need to complete two forms. Please complete these forms as much as possible before meeting with your Environmental advisor. The first is the usual College "declaration of major/minor" form. You need to declare your primary major first before declaring your Environmental Science and Policy major.

• Declaration of  Major Form [PDF]
• Declaration of Academic Minor Form [PDF]

The second is a form that will help indicate and plan your exact requirements and courses for the Environmental Science and Policy degree. In many of our course groupings there are lots of substitutions available, so talk to your advisor and the program Director about possible course substitutions. On this second form you will also declare which track (science or policy) you intend to complete. You MUST get the program Director to co-sign your declaration forms before turning them in to the Registrar.

• Major Declaration Form - Science Track
• Major Declaration Form - Policy Track
• Minor Declaration Form
