Environmental Concentration

Environmental Concentration

 
The Environmental Concentration provides an experiential framework to support students in the exploration of issues related to the environment, ecological design and sustainability embedded in disciplines across the college. The concentration enables students to weave together formal and informal learning opportunities as a way of bridging theory and practice in support of environmental decisions and action. With support of an academic adviser, students will shape a topical area of inquiry of their choosing to define their environmental concentration. The possibilities are endless!
