Coe College - Department of Environmental Studies

The environmental studies major at Coe is a collateral, interdisciplinary program which requires students to study environmental issues using techniques and perspectives derived from a variety of academic disciplines. At its core, environmental studies critically evaluates humanity’s interaction with the natural environment. For students looking to develop knowledge and expertise in this growing field, Coe has created a dynamic, cutting-edge program. Featuring faculty from at least six separate departments, this major is truly a liberal arts experience. Coe’s program combines courses from science (with a particular emphasis on ecology and chemistry); policy (economics, law and politics); and the humanities (philosophy/ethics, rhetoric and history).
