Concentrations

Environmental Studies Concentration

Geospatial scientists make important contributions to both the prevention and remediation of environmental problems, from waste management to species conservation. The Environmental Studies concentration provides students with training in environmental challenges related to land use, water resources, climate, biogeography, and environmental regulation in addition to a foundation in GIS. From this interdisciplinary lens, students will learn how to address contemporary issues and build a sustainable future for our community and planet. Required courses.
