Environmental Studies - The Concentration
This concentration explores the relationship between humans and their natural environment, and provides a basic background for the rational and discriminating comprehension of environmental issues.
Participation in the off-campus study programs, such as the Tropical Field Research Semester in Costa Rica, OTS, Grinnell-in-London (among others) is encouraged and may, with the program chair's approval, satisfy some of the requirements.
