The Environmental Biology Major is a liberal arts science program centered on studying Earth's biological, chemical, and geological systems, along with human interactions that influence these processes across cultural, economic, agricultural, and public health domains. This program emphasizes core training in biological and quantitative sciences, along with scientific communication skills, to address complex environmental challenges.
Prospective students often begin as Biology majors before specializing, though transfer students and those with undeclared status may also join. Students formally declare their Environmental Biology major during their sophomore fall semester and should take Ecology (BIOL-1800) that term. In spring, majors enroll in the foundational Evolutionary Processes (BIOL-1850) course, which fulfills writing requirements through its communication-focused curriculum.
Academic planning should be done in collaboration with faculty advisors, who can also assist in finding research opportunities and funding for environmental biology projects during summers or senior year. With departmental pre-approval, relevant biology courses taken during study abroad programs may apply toward major credit requirements.
