Majoring in Environment & Sustainability

The Environment & Sustainability major offers three tracks: the Environmental Humanities track (B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies), the Environmental Policy track (B.A. in Interdisciplinary Studies), or the Environmental Science track (B.S. in Interdisciplinary Studies). All of the tracks introduce students to environmental ways of knowing that span the humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. Each individual track provides students with the opportunity to obtain more depth in their area of interest. The tracks are designed to stand alone and provide students with the necessary skill set to find employment or to pursue advanced studies. While not required, many students double major to get even greater depth in a discipline of their interest. 

Non-classroom, hands-on experiences are a requirement for all tracks through both a natural science with field lab course and the capstone experience. The later can be fulfilled through an array of courses, internships, or independent or faculty led research projects. 

Your ENSP major advisor can help you determine which track is best for you.
