B.A. in Environmental Studies

The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies allows students to examine environmental issues through the lens of natural and social sciences. This major enables students to look at the issues of human and environmental topics on the local, regional, and global scale and better understand and help solve these complex issues. Students gain a nuanced view of the world, and are prepared for a future in policy, management, nonprofit engagement, and more.

Careers

The B.A. in Environmental Science provides a broad environmental background. Career choices may include positions in the private, public, and non-profit sectors. Our graduates are prepared to work in such areas as environmental consulting, laboratory or field research, geology, compliance and environmental education.

Faculty Mentoring

All students receive individual attention and one-on-one mentoring during their entire undergraduate careers. Each student plans a course of study in close cooperation with a faculty advisor and the student's progress is closely coordinated with developing interests.

Undergraduates are strongly encouraged to pursue independent research as an essential part of their educational program. Research permits students to develop an even closer relationship with a faculty research director, who then serves as a mentor during career planning.
