Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies Program Overview |
|
|
The environmental studies major provides students with the skills necessary to understand and address complex environmental issues. In addition to providing necessary intellectual breadth, the major also offers the opportunity for students to carry out independent study which provides a significant depth of knowledge within a specific area of interest. Because environmental issues are not resolved in the scientific, technological, social, or political arena alone, the interdisciplinary curriculum integrates principles and methodology from the social sciences, engineering, the natural sciences, and humanities. |

| The environmental studies major is administered by the School of Marine and Atmospheric Sciences through offices both on South Campus (Endeavour Hall Room 105, tel. 631-632-8681) and on the Stony Brook main campus (Geosciences Room 171, tel. 631-632-8681). | |

The residential component of the program is the Environmental Studies Living/Learning Center housed in Hendrix College as part of the Science and Technology College. Students majoring in environmental studies are given priority for housing in Hendrix College. A lounge area is also available within Hendrix for commuters enrolled in the major. The Living/Learning Center offers special programs, such as a seminar series showcasing faculty research, and selected courses in the major. First year students interested in majoring in environmental studies are encouraged to take one of the USB 101 special sections taught by faculty associated with the program. |
