Our curriculum is developed to ensure students look at the field through an interdisciplinary lens. The program uses the expertise of faculty members across campus, including biology, political science, English, philosophy, and history.
Our courses are uniquely designed to explore complex challenges and solutions while emphasizing collaboration across disciplines and employing expertise from many departments across campus.
Majors can choose from the following concentrations: Natural Sciences, Environmental Policy, Sustainability Studies, Environmental Humanities, and Contract.
Capitalizing on the strengths of the college's liberal arts curriculum, the environmental and sustainability studies program offers many opportunities for hands-on experiences, field research, and study abroad.
Many of our students work with the River Keepers organization in Fargo-Moorhead to study issues related to water quality in the Red River basin.
