Environmental Studies Focus Courses
ENVS Majors: The ENVS focus consists of three courses chosen on an individual basis from an approved list of courses emphasizing environmental problems or issues. The ENVS focus must be approved by the interdepartmental ENVS oversight committee, therefore ENVS students must work in close consultation with their academic advisor and the ENVS advisor. Two of the three focus courses should be at the 300- level. Students on the BS track should include two laboratory science courses. *denotes courses that include a lab
