The natural world serves as both the backdrop for all human endeavors and a result of those actions. Environmental studies and planning start by examining the physical, biological, social, economic, political, and cultural settings where environmental interactions and disputes happen. Various analytical methods, from cultural to economic and ecological perspectives, are then used to address particular issues. While some concerns are location-specific, others relate to broader regional, national, and worldwide trends and societal shifts. In today's era of global transformation and interconnectedness, students need to comprehend environmental challenges through the lenses of patterns, processes, and scale. As urban ecological impacts and resource demands often extend beyond city limits, so too must the analytical frameworks of this field.

The CES curriculum will equip students with theoretical knowledge about environmental systems and challenges, the ecological consequences of urban development, work, and transit, sustainability policies and planning methods, approaches to address environmental justice disparities in government initiatives, and practical professional skills for effective implementation.
