Environmental studies encompasses a broad range of

The curriculum includes, an interdisciplinary core that encourages students to explore the social, aesthetic, ethical, scientific, and technical aspects of environmental questions, and a disciplinary-based concentration that allows students to approach these questions with more focused knowledge and methodological tools.
