环境研究计划将科学与对影响我们的自然世界以及我们如何与自然世界互动的历史，社会，道德，法律和政治问题的研究联系在一起。我们探索环境化学，保护，保护和经济学等主题，同时提供社会科学和人文学科的广泛教育。环境研究学位可以用于政府，非营利组织，法律和商业的职业。我们的毕业生在大学，生态与自然资源系，公园和野生动物系，市政当局以及许多环境组织中寻求机会。目的是让这些课程跨学科共同努力，为学生提供商业和环境研究的必要背景。该计划也为研究生学习做准备。环境研究学习成果：解决问题，跨学科整合，反思性判断，个人行动。
The Environmental Studies Program connects science with study of the historical, social, ethical, legal and political issues that affect our natural world and how we interact with it. We explore topics such as environmental chemistry, conservation, protection and economics, while providing a broad education in the social sciences and humanities.With more than a dozen national parks and recreation areas within a day's drive of Gonzaga, we offer firsthand study of well-known natural landmarks - like Yellowstone National Park and Glacier National Park - and environmentally significant historical events, such as the glacial floods that passed through Spokane 10,000 years ago. Extracurricular activities such as Gonzaga Environmental Organization, Marian Hall Outdoor Adventure and Leadership Theme Community, and Gonzaga Outdoors offer students further opportunities to learn about the environment by experiencing it.<br><br>A degree in environmental studies can be used for careers in government, the nonprofit sector, law and business. Our graduates have pursued opportunities within universities, Departments of Ecology and Natural Resources, Parks and Wildlife, municipalities and many environmental organizations. Some students will consider a Sustainable Business minor (see the course catalog) from the School of Business Administration. The intention is to have these courses work together across disciplines to give students the necessary background in both business and environmental studies. The program is also preparation for graduate study.
