Environmental Biology (BA) [discontinued]

Humans cannot continue to consume more and more of the Earth’s resources indefinitely. There are limits to growth, and the consequences of ignoring these issues can be seen across the globe. Developing meaningful sustainable solutions to environmental problems requires awareness of science, economics, politics, and society. Students majoring in Environmental Biology will acquire the knowledge and skills necessary to undertake competent, complex problem-solving in a major that has an important connection to finding solutions for our shared environmental problems.

Environmental Studies Electives

Electives chosen must include at least one 300-level course and two 200-level courses.

Note: a course may not fulfill more than one elective requirement; e.g. BIOL 141 may not be taken to fulfill both an Experiential and an Open elective.

Note: Students are encouraged to pursue internships in the environmental field (BIOL 387)
