All students must meet the University Co-Major Requirements.
Overview
The co-major offers students outside of the College of Arts and Sciences the opportunity to complete advanced coursework in Environmental Studies. (Students who are enrolled in the College of Arts and Sciences can complete the same coursework through the Environmental Studies B.A.). Once the student has declared the co-major, they must meet with an advisor in their home college or school to ensure that the co-major can be completed along with degree requirements. Accepted students must also meet with an advisor in the co-major to outline their course of study.
Co-Major Requirements
At least 32 credits in major courses, including:
| Requirement Description | Credits | |
|---|---|---|
| Course offerings for Environmental Studies vary frequently and often include Special Topics, Topics In, and Honors College courses. Before registration each semester, a list of eligible courses is posted as a See Also list in the Schedule of Courses (Classic Version). Many of those courses will not show up immediately in students’ degree audits. The courses listed in this table are always eligible and should automatically be applied in degree audits. | ||
| Students should consult the Environmental Studies Program advising guidance each semester for information on how specific courses on the See Also list can be applied to major requirements. Please consult an ENVS advisor for approval of environment-related courses to count toward the major. | ||
