Environmental Science and Policy
MajorEnvironmental Options Environment & Agriculture, |
Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) is a multi-disciplinary undergraduate major that draws courses and faculty from three Colleges and 20 academic departments and enrolls 350+ students who aspire to solve the world's greatest environmental challenges
Recognizing that the natural and social sciences interact as systems, and that good policy is informed by science, lower-level ENSP students develop a broad understanding of environmental problems in a multi-disciplinary "core."
At approximately 
40 credits completed, students develop a "graduation plan" and choose the area of concentration best matched to their interests and goals. They move administratively to an academic department in which they gain in-depth knowledge and training, while receiving continued support from the ENSP Program Office. Students earn a B.S. from the College and academic department sponsoring their concentration.

The ENSP faculty and staff aspire to provide a strong ENSP identity and a "liberal arts feel" for the 350+ students enrolled in this major, while helping them develop technical skills and encouraging them to take advantage of the resources available at a Doctoral/Research University.
By combining a strong academic program with internships and research experiences, ENSP graduates are prepared for entry-level positions in environmental consulting firms, non-profit organizations, and state and federal agencies; or for post-graduate study.
