About
Certificate in Environmental Studies (EVST)
The undergraduate Certificate in Environmental Studies recognizes students who complete their degrees with a notable share of courses emphasizing the study of the natural environment and how societies interact with nature.
Completion of the certificate indicates that a student has developed a knowledge base of environmental science combined with the study of human cultural interactions with the natural world from the perspectives of history, political science, art, psychology, philosophy, literature, economics, and other disciplines.
The certificate is ideal for students whose interests span the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences.
The certificate is open to all undergraduate majors and is designed to fit within most four-year degree plans without the need for additional credit hours. The certificate requires the completion of 17 credit hours and is awarded upon completion of the bachelor’s degree. Lower-division requirements include one introductory course from the environmental sciences plus a two-hour course on global sustainability. Upper-division requirements include two core courses (Conservation of Natural Resources, American Environmental History), plus two others (six credit hours) from a wide variety of upper-division courses that emphasize human-environment interaction.
