Overview

This department of Bucknell University educates the student to identify, analyze, and respond to complex environmental issues by working with communities and experts in many fields. With a major in Environmental Studies, students have the latitude to create a course of study in an area of specialization and to develop a breadth of interdisciplinary and methodological knowledge in diverse environmental fields.

Key facts:

The department has two major tracks: a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies and a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Science. Each requires the interdisciplinary study of environmental issues and an understanding of the complexity of the relationship between humanity and the environment, while they allow the student to concentrate studies in a field of particular interest to that student.

The B.A. in Environmental Studies is designed for those who want to develop core concentrations in the social sciences, policy, planning, law, and the humanities, although a science concentration is also possible with this choice. The B.A. in Environmental Science is designed for students who want in-depth knowledge of natural sciences as the core of their interdisciplinary environmental education. The B.A. Environmental Science has an obligate second B.A. major in one of the following: Biology, Chemistry, or Geology.

Most Environmental Studies and Environmental Science majors benefit from studying abroad. Field-based programs – such as School for Field Studies or School for International Training – are especially appropriate for Environmental Studies and Environmental Science students.
