Department of the Environment (ENVS)

In the Environmental Science program, we support you as a whole person, encouraging exploration, self-expression, and connection. Learning is focused through an “intensive” experience, in which students take two courses in the same semester that approach a topic, such as water, trees, agriculture, or technology, from different perspectives. At the same time, the relatively low number of required credits needed to complete the degree offers an opportunity to explore other topics more broadly through elective courses. We encourage you to pursue a second major or minor, such as biology, chemistry, math, art, or legal studies. Whether your passion is water, forests and land management, food systems, or renewable energy, you’ll be part of a close-knit learning community with access to faculty mentorship, immersive fieldwork, and exciting research opportunities. You’ll graduate ready to think, do, and be your authentic self in the world of environmental change.
