is an interdisciplinary
major that deals with the impact of human activities on natural systems.
In the lower division courses (i.e., freshman and sophomore level courses),
the Environmental Sciences major emphasizes basic science in a rigorous
curriculum drawn from a variety of departments including biology, chemistry,
mathematics, physics, economics and environmental science. In the upper
division courses (i.e. junior and senior level courses), students take
electives in their area of interest and courses in statistics, research
methodology, and environmental modeling to prepare for the senior research
thesis seminar. In the research seminar, each student designs and conducts
a research project of his or her own choosing. This yearlong course is
the capstone of the major. The experience is extremely helpful for students
as they prepare for environmental careers or graduate/professional school. Use the links on the left to navigate through this site. The undergraduate major in Environmental Sciences (ES) is offered by the College of Letters and Science and the College of Natural Resources (CNR). The course requirements for the ES major are identical for both colleges, but each college maintains a separate administrative unit for its students. As a result, administrative policies for adding courses, dropping courses, withdrawing, may vary. This is the CNR website. The policies, procedures, and rules listed in it apply only to CNR Environmental Sciences majors. Students interested in completing the ES major in Letters and Science should go to the L&S ES pages and the College of Letters & Science pages. Students who complete their ES major in CNR earn a Bachelor of Science degree. Environmental Sciences Modification Date: 07/23/2009
