If you haven’t heard yet, Environmental Studies has a new web page!  If that isn’t excitement enough, here’s the url so you can check it out yourself:  https://envstudies.uw.edu/

Environmental Studies offers an interdisciplinary B.A. degree. This means that students take a range of courses from other departments, but we still find ways to build a strong community here in Wallace Hall.  If you’ve never been here, I encourage you to stop in and check out our digs – we have a wonderful space where students can work on group projects, host events, and make presentations.  We’d love to have you visit!

The Environmental Studies curriculum is divided into 4 areas:

Core courses – 4 core courses (ENVIR 100, 200, 250, 300)

Foundations – 40 credits of restricted electives that cover analytical methods, biology, biological systems, chemistry, earth systems literacy, economics, statistics, and values & cultures.

Perspectives & Experiences – 30 credits must be earned at the upper-division level distributed across six focus areas:  human & social dimensions; bioregional; natural sciences; international; policy; and fieldwork.

Capstone – the senior capstone has an internship in the middle quarter offering students the opportunity to build real-world experience prior to graduation.
