In recent decades, issues related to the environment have emerged as key concerns at local, national, and international levels. The new Environmental Studies Concentration, developed in December 2007, is designed to give students a broad exposure to a range of environmental issues and to provide multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary approaches to understanding the complexity of factors that affect the environment and our understanding of it.

Requirements for the Concentration

In addition, students may create their own environmentally-related majors through the Center for Interdisciplinary Studies.
