The Environmental Studies program offers an interdisciplinary major that gives students a fundamental knowledge of the human environment, the dimensions of human impact on the natural environment, and approaches to solving problems resulting from this impact. The human environment includes all facets of human activity affecting the environmen, such as philosophical and ethical issues, environmental resource use and misuse, population biology, and the chemistry of the atmosphere. Through careers in industry, consultation or regulatory agencies, environmentalists help protect people by ensuring a healthier environment in the workplace and the community.

The goals of the Environmental Studies program are to provide a view of the environment and to provide the technical and evaluative skills for active participation in an environmental career.
