Environmental Studies forges connections between theory and practice, helps you analyze the interactions of human and natural systems, and trains you to solve some of today\u2019s biggest challenges.<\/p>\n

Hands-on coursework across the sciences, social sciences, and arts and humanities will enable you to roll up your sleeves through field experiences like service learning at the campus farm; wading into the wetlands to collect natural history data; recording oral communities’ social justice stories, and so much more.<\/p>\n

Outside of classes you will find a world of empowering opportunities including internships, independent research, directed readings, field studies, study abroad, competitively funded summer research,and distinctive upper-level independent research like the St. Mary\u2019s Project.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div><\/div>
