Environmental Studies Major and Minor

The Environmental Studies curriculum encompasses natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, law and business, and includes interdisciplinary core courses, senior seminar, and electives.  This major offers the opportunity to build on efforts at Lynchburg College to develop connections between disciplines (via learning communities) and to promote critical thinking skills.  Successful completion of an Environmental Studies major opens up to students a wide variety of career and public service options related to environmental protection, conservation, and sustainable growth.  Students would also emerge well-prepared for the critical thinking demands of graduate or professional programs in a variety of fields, including law, political science, economics, and sociology.

Any pre-approved Study Abroad class from other disciplines may substitute for ENVS 377 (Study Abroad).
