This is an interdisciplinary major.

Environmental problems arise from the complex interactions between ecological and physical systems, and the social, economic, political and cultural forces that shape the world in which we live.  Finding solutions to environmental problems requires well-trained scientists, researchers, policy makers, planners, resource managers, and other specialists who can understand these system interactions and who can develop solutions that draw from a variety of disciplines.  To help meet this challenge, our mission is to promote environmental sustainability through an interdisciplinary academic program anchored in both the natural and physical sciences, and in the social sciences.
