需求
环境研究
环境研究项目包括环境生物学专业, 环境化学, 环境地质学, 还有两个跨学科专业和一个辅修专业. The 环境研究 majors and minor enable students to analyze the relationship between human society and the environment.
这种关系包括四个相互关联的主要组成部分:
- 人口对环境的影响, 包括气候变化, 环境恶化, 保护, 和恢复;
- 人类从环境中获得的好处, 例如用于维持社会的生态服务和自然资源;
- the ways in which our relationship to the environment builds on and reinforces social (in)justices;
- 可持续发展.
The interactions of humans with the environment are influenced by variations in the natural environment such as the 地质, 地理位置, 气候, 植物区系, 和动物, 还有人类文化的变化和特征,比如经济, 政府, 社会价值观和道德规范.

额外的信息
The two interdisciplinary 环境研究 majors include introductory courses in the arts and 人文学科, 社会科学, 自然科学. 核心环境课程, selected for their appropriateness to the student’s interests and proclivities in humanistic or social scientific environmental study, 介绍环境问题的跨学科研究. Concentration courses allow students to further deepen their knowledge and acquire skills necessary for the practice of “environmental communication and arts” or “environmental justice and citizenship.” 环境研究380 (Senior Colloquium in 环境研究) provides an opportunity for students from both tracks to reflect together upon the diverse perspectives on environmental issues they have studied.
经验要求: Students interested in 环境研究 are strongly encouraged to fulfill their Experience requirement through an 环境研究-related internship, 或者事先批准, 通过补充环境研究项目, 比如科学院的荒野野外站. The Experience requirement may also be fulfilled during an approved study abroad experience with pre-approval.
出国留学事先咨询他们的主要导师, 环境研究专业的学生在国外学习时可以满足专业要求. 除了获得国际经验, 我们强烈鼓励学生流利地使用第二语言.
多专业和辅修:
- 在环境研究双学位的情况下, 通常不超过2门课程将被重复计算.
- 没有一门课程可以同时满足环境研究专业的两项要求. Environmental studies majors may not also minor in 环境研究 or major in any of the environmental sciences.
