This interdisciplinary program offers a B.S. degree in Environmental Studies. Students learn to analyze physical and socioeconomic environments and to reach decisions concerning environmental use and protection. The major allows students to obtain an interdisciplinary background suitable for environmental monitoring and planning. Graduates are prepared for entry and middle-level positions in governmental agencies in such areas as regional planning and resource management; or for positions in the private sector; or to pursue graduate degrees in urban/regional planning, resource management, ecology, geography, public administration, and law.
