Program Description

The Environmental Studies and Sustainability program provides students with the in-depth knowledge, multidisciplinary perspectives, and critical skills needed to address the complex environmental problems of today and of the future. The ESS major explores disruptions to Earth’s global life-support systems, threats to biotic and human communities, and both the obstacles to and the promise of environmental sustainability. The major is designed with considerable flexibility so that students can pursue a wide range of interests and careers, such as research, environmental law, non-profit work, consulting, and work with state and federal environmental agency work at the state or federal level. Many graduate school programs have specialized requirements such as statistics, organic chemistry, or economics. Students interested in the ESS major or minor should thus seek advising from an ESS faculty member early in their academic careers, in addition to consulting the departmental web site.
