Students in IBES' Environmental Sciences and Studies (ENVS) concentration tackle our most pressing climate and sustainability challenges through an education rooted in interdisciplinary exploration and innovative problem-solving.
Through a rigorous set of core courses, track requirements, and a capstone experience — as well as immediate access to real-world research opportunities and expert faculty — students gain the knowledge and skills needed to address the complex relationships between human systems and the natural world. These programs prepare our future leaders to make meaningful contributions toward building a more sustainable and equitable planet.
- The A.B. in Environmental Sciences and Studies ensures undergraduates obtain a broad understanding of the
environment from multiple perspectives. - The Sc.B. in Environmental Sciences and Studies is a more in-depth treatment of a single field: Climate and Energy; Conservation and Natural Systems; Environmental Justice and Health; or Sustainable Development and Governance.
Both degrees provide interdisciplinary exposure to the natural and social sciences, as well as public policy.
