课程简介
Through this combined major, successful undergraduates will develop an awareness of the scientific, cultural, and political aspects of the world's environmental problems through historical perspectives and backgrounds. Due to overlap in course content, students majoring in environmental studies or any environmental studies combined majors may not complete a minor in environmental and sustainability sciences. Our Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Sustainability Science degree is designed for students seeking a comprehensive understanding of the scientific implications of environmental problems and the multidisciplinary solutions that environmental scientists can produce to solve them. All students take foundational courses in Earth science, ecology, and sustainability. They then choose from one of four concentrations for deeper learning. For students interested in understanding how physical and geochemical processes shape existing and emerging environmental threats, they can pursue the Earth, Oceans, and Environmental Change concentration. Students interested in how ecological and evolutionary processes influence our ability to conserve, restore, and manage ecosystems can elect our Conservation, Restoration, and Management concentration. Our concentration in Sustainable Planning and Development is designed for students who want to examine how science informs the nexus of food, water, and energy to promote greater sustainability. Lastly, students interested in leveraging a strong scientific foundation to study coupled human and natural systems that are most threatened by environmental change can focus on our concentration in Environment and Society.
