Curriculum Notes
Environmental Science I and II (GEV 1050 and GEV 1051):
A two-course sequence that provides all students in the Environmental Studies Concentration with a multidisciplinary foundation in Environmental Science.
It includes laboratories that emphasize some of the technical approaches scientists use to collect and analyze data toward the solution of environmental problems. In addition, several field trips will be taken to sites of environmental significance.
Fulfills the Natural Science requirement of
Core Curriculum in Arts & Sciences.
Statistics and Calculus:
Courses provide students with the knowledge necessary for understanding technical analyses, data analysis and interpretation central in evaluation of environmental issues. Several statistics and calculus courses are acceptable. For example, MAT 1230-1235, MAT 1250 (special sections for Environmental Studies students), MAT 2310, or BIO 3105 all are acceptable for fulfilling the statistics requirement. Fulfills Mathematics/Computer Science requirement of Core Curriculum in Arts & Sciences. See the Director of the Concentration for more detail on acceptable courses.
Environmental Ethics: Environmental Ethics (PHI 2121)
Covers philosophical basis of environmental ethics, including issues surrounding environmental justice. Take after Introductory Philosophy (PHI 1050). Fulfills advanced PHI requirement of Core Curriculum in Arts & Sciences.
Seminar in Environmental Issues: Seminar in Environmental Issues (GEV 4000)
A team-taught capstone course; takes an interdisciplinary approach to environmental issues.
Internship, Senior Thesis, Independent Project/Group Project:
Provides in-depth, hands-on, practical experience in an area of environmental studies. Surveys indicate that such experiences are an especially valuable part of undergraduate environmental studies curricula. Typically taken in conjunction with student's major, and thus counts toward the major. Need approval from Director of Environmental Studies Concentration in addition to advisor in major.
Environmental Studies Concentration, Categories B, C, and D courses: Each student takes at least one course in each
curriculum category:
Category B: Natural Science and Geographical Techniques
Category C: Policy and Management
Category D: Environmental Social Sciences & Humanities
Note that several courses also fulfill requirements of the Core Curriculum and/or student's major.
For remaining electives,
consider courses with environmental content.
