Environmental studies leads to career opportunities in the private or public sector or gives the basis for further education. For example, the major is a foundation for careers in air, water and land resource management, waste management, and environmental public policy. These and other careers such as environmental economics, or environmental law may require a second major, graduate school or professional school.

Students planning to seek employment following graduation are urged to accept a co-op or internship experience. Those planning to attend graduate school prior to seeking employment are encouraged to accept such an experience. Senior environmental science majors must take a comprehensive examination designated by the Environmental Studies Committee.

A minor in environmental studies enhances majors such as journalism, marketing, health, and humanities.

The department offers these degrees and majors.
