环境研究文学学士学位是一门跨学科专业，向学生介绍人类活动如何影响地球系统，反之亦然。它使学生​​能够使用各种工具（例如政策，科学，沟通以及个人和社会行为改变）来解决环境和可持续性问题，并着重于社会科学的观点和工具。环境研究专业必须完成ENVS专业两个通用的核心课程，包括以研究为重点的高级顶点课程和涉及实习的应用经验，以及三门额外的社会科学核心课程和针对学生感兴趣领域的一系列选修课。ENVS高层的经验涉及完成研究项目或在JHU教员的监督下进行类似的学术活动，并参加一个1学分的高级研讨会，该研讨会探讨职业发展
The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary major that introduces students to the ways in which human activities impact Earth systems and vice versa. It equips students to use a variety of tools, such as policy, science, communication, and individual and societal behavior change, to solve environmental and sustainability problems, with an emphasis on the perspectives and tools of the social sciences. Environmental Studies majors must complete a set of core courses common to both ENVS majors, including a research-focused senior capstone course and an applied experience involving an internship, plus three additional social science core courses and a suite of electives in the student's area of interest. The ENVS senior capstone experience involves both the completion of a research project or comparable scholarly endeavor under the supervision of a JHU faculty member and participation in a 1-credit senior seminar that explores career development and current events to support seniors as they transition to post-graduate life and work. A 1-credit research design course taken in the junior year guides students in the development of their senior research project proposal. All ENVS majors must enroll in the capstone and senior seminar courses in the fall semester of their senior year.
