Environmental challenges, solutions, and justice do not have disciplinary boundaries. Our curriculum is designed to teach students to approach a particular topic not simply as a question of biology, politics, or theology, but rather to combine these (and many more) perspectives to better understand environmental issues in all their complexity.
Courses in the Perspectives requirements are listed as Elective options; the courses not selected to fulfill a Perspectives requirement may be chosen as electives. ENVR 397 internship credits beyond the (1) required for majors may not be counted toward elective requirements.
