Data source(s) and notes about the submission:

While the 3 degrees offer different foci, they are all multidisciplinary and a key component is the relationship of environmental issues and solutions to human activities. Common courses of the three majors: ENS 111 (Introduction to Environmental Science), ENS 200 (Strategies for Environmental Inquiry) and ENS 461 (Senior Seminar: Environmental Assessment and Project Development) relate environmental issues and solutions to human endeavors, stakeholders, values, etc. The B.A. degree has a sustainability-focused concentration option. The ENS program also offers a minor in environmental and sustainability studies.
