Overview
The Environmental Studies Concentration introduces
students to the scientific, economic, legal, political and philosophical
dimensions of environmental issues, both within the United States and globally.
The concentration is open to students from any major and may be of particular
interest to students planning careers in government, law or business.
Courses for the Environmental Studies Concentration are
drawn from eight departments in The College of Arts and Sciences and The Kania
School of Management. Many of these courses may also be used for general
education requirements. To enroll, students should consult one of the
co-directors of the concentration. The concentration consists of eight courses:
