ENVS-333 Application - deadline Semptember 15, 2008
The environmental studies umbrella encompasses two majors and a minor that are inherently interdisciplinary. Environmental issues involve many kinds of questions -- scientific, cultural, economic, historical, and philosophical. Since no single discipline alone can answer today’s environmental questions, these programs blend coursework in the sciences and in the humanities.
The environmental studies major at Ithaca is rigorous and practical. In addition to providing a great foundation for environmental careers in government agencies, nonprofit organizations, and industry, it is good preparation for both graduate school and law school.
Our degree program in environmental science shifts the focus of our environmental studies major toward a rigorous science curriculum. Graduates go on to careers in areas such as aquatic toxicology, wildlife conservation, environmental education, solar technology, and renewable energy.
