Environmental Studies Major and Minor
The Environmental Studies Program at Shepherd
College assists students in developing the knowledge and skills required to effectively analyze, manage, and
protect the integrity of the Earth's natural resources. An Environmental Studies Degree assists
students in developing the interdisciplinary background needed today to be an effective and highly skilled employee
in a variety of environmental careers or graduate study.
The goals of the Environmental Studies
Program are to provide the student with:
-
The intellectual means for viewing the environment
as a system of many interlocking part and processes, including physical,
biological, cultural, political, and economic components.
-
The awareness of and appreciation for the
precious physical, biological and cultural resources on which our society
depends and which we must properly conserve.
-
The knowledge and technical skills for active
participation in the environmental field and graduate study in environmentally
related disciplines.
This highly structured, interdisciplinary
degree prepares students with the technical skills necessary for employment
or provides a competitive background for many graduate programs.
An internship is required for majors and recommended for minors, as the
hands-on experience provided furthers student understanding of the nature
and application of the environmental sciences.
The Environmental Studies degree is a comprehensive
major (does not require a minor) which includes a broad core in combination with one of five optional
concentrations. In addition, the new noncomprehensive concentration (requires a minor) in
Environmental Sustainability allows sutdents a greater curricular flexibility.
