Environmental Studies - BS

Environmental studies majors learn about the ecology of natural areas and about the political, economic, geographic, and social aspects of nature and its management.

Students focus on natural resource and environmental issues confronting society as they look for solutions that can sustain both the natural environment and human communities.

Compared to the Environmental Science and Sustainability BS, the Environmental Studies BS places greater emphasis on the social and behavioral sciences for an understanding of human attitudes, perceptions, and behavior, as well as economic, legal, and policy systems, for addressing the environmental challenges facing human societies.
