Program Description

The undergraduate Environmental Studies program at The University of Montana-Missoula offers an education that emphasizes community service and environmental problem solving. In keeping with an interdisciplinary approach, our students study and apply the different perspectives of the humanities, and the social and natural sciences to environmental issues. Environmental studies students practice the necessary communication, mathematical, and technical skills to engage in effective environmental thought and action. Environmental studies students participate in community service throughout their years in the program.

The EVST Major is designed to be flexible yet provide a foundation in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities for students who want to focus their undergraduate education on the environment as an organizing theme. To balance the breadth of the core requirements, EVST students are expected to obtain depth in an area of focus by adding another major, or a minor or two, or selecting one of EVST 's areas of focus, or designing their own. For the Bachelor of Arts Degree (B.A.) EVST majors complete a minimum of 120 credit hours of which 36 must be from Environmental Studies and 39 must be from courses that are 300 level or above.
