Student/Faculty Designed

Students who wish to design their own major within the College of the Environment should obtain complete guidelines from the Undergraduate Advisors located in ES 539, the College of the Environment office. The major must be developed with faculty advisement and must be approved by two faculty members and the College of the Environment Curriculum Committee at least four quarters before the student's anticipated graduation.

Why Consider a College of the Environment Student/Faculty Designed Major?

If you have an interest in using many different disciplines ranging from the natural, chemical, physical, data, and social sciences, and engineering as they relate to environmental issues then the Student/Faculty designed may be for you. You can use this degree to describe and predict problems caused by anthropogenic activities. You can also consider how to improve the natural environment or how the built environment relates to human health and the natural environment, and ways to mitigate harm.

Career choices are determined by the student's interests.
