1 Environmental Environmental Charles A. Dana Professor Richard K. Dunn (Chair); Associate Professor G. Christopher Koteas; Assistant Professor Laurie D. Grigg; Lecturer Benjamin DeJong; Research Associate George E. ston This major is interdisciplinary, designed for those with environmental interests and career goals. The program emphasizes experiential learning, commonly through field studies and outdoor education. Courses include real projects and original research participation. Students begin their curriculum with the development of a firm base in the sciences and mathematics. Each student develops an area of specialization by selecting a Concentration from one of two Options. Option I Concentrations lead to a heavier emphasis in science and engineering, and include Environmental Biology, Environmental Geology, Environmental Engineering, Environmental Chemistry, and Climate. Option II Concentrations result in a stronger emphasis in the social sciences, humanities, business, and include Environmental Policy & Management, Environmental Law & Protection, Environmental Writing, Green Design, and Environmental Education. All Environmental majors take a pair of capstone courses involving an original research project and a seminar designed to synthesize their education and tie scientific thought to issues in society. The Department houses a number of instruments for environmental monitoring and analysis, and students also have access to resources in their area of Concentration. Goals: To provide an interdisciplinary Liberal Arts degree program in Environmental having a strong foundation in the physical and life sciences with a focus on relationships connecting society and nature. To provide two options, one with a concentration in the sciences and engineering, and the other with a concentration in the social sciences and humanities. To provide instruction and experiences with emphasis on field studies, solution of active problems, and communication in a professional format. Outcomes: Understand the physical laws of nature that control the formation and evolution of Earth materials and biological organisms Understand what controls the behavior of the chemical compounds that make up the inorganic and organic materials of the Earth Know how to define a problem, design a study to acquire data, critically analyze and interpret data, and discuss the implications of results Be able to think critically about published work, synthesize the content of such work, and present findings at a professional level both in writing and orally Meet the University's General Education Goals Careers for this Major: Graduate education Industry and consulting Military Environmental agencies Non-profit organizations Environmental Major-Option Conc.
