Environmental Studies: Individual Concentration in Environmental Studies

Environmental Studies majors must fulfill the following requirements:

Individual Concentration in Environmental Studies

In consultation with their academic advisor, students may select an individual course of study in areas such as Environmental Communications, Agriculture, Water Resources, and Human Ecology. Students interested in an Individual Concentration request an application from the department chair and work with their ENVR advisor to develop a course of study of at least 30 hours for the proposed concentration.

At least 15 of the 30 hours must be ENVR courses. Of the 15 hours in ENVR, 12 hours must be upper-level ENVR courses, and 7 hours must be field- or laboratory-based ENVR courses. Applications and course listings must be approved by the student’s ENVR advisor, the ENVR department chair, and submitted at the time the major is declared. The Individual Concentration requires the completion of all other requirements for the ENVR major as listed in I, II and III above.
