PoE Academic Programs

The Program on the Environment offers a multidisciplinary Bachelor of Arts degree (B.A.), in Environmental Studies which provides excellent training and preparation for a wide variety of careers or for postgraduate studies, and a Minor in Environmental Studies, which offers students in other majors increased knowledge of the biophysical and human dimensions of environmental issues.

Two graduate certificates, Environmental Management and Interdisciplinary and Policy Dimentions of Earth Sciences are offered by PoE and are open to students enrolled in graduate degree programs at the University of Washington. The Graduate Certificate curricula provides graduate students with opportunities to extend their understanding of environmental issues beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries.
