Because
Environmental Sciences is interdisciplinary, students take most of
their courses from other departments. The courses below are the courses
offered by Environmental Sciences. The ES courses that are required for
the ES major are highlighted in green. For information about other major
requirements, please see the Degree Requirements
section. Go to the Schedule of
Classes for current and upcoming course schedules.
