Environmental Studies, Bachelor

Students interested in a humanities-focused approach to environmental studies can pursue a B.A. or B.G.S. degree with an emphasis on Environment and Culture. The B.A., the most common choice, offers a traditional baccalaureate education that balances broad knowledge through extensive general education requirements and about one-quarter of coursework in the major, including required exposure to world languages and cultures, which are increasingly vital in our global society.The main difference between the B.A. and B.G.S. is that the B.A. mandates foreign language study, while the B.G.S. provides greater flexibility by reducing general education requirements.
