Does the institution offer at least one sustainability-focused major, degree program, or the equivalent for undergraduate students?:
The name of the sustainability-focused, undergraduate degree program (1st program):
A brief description of the undergraduate degree program (1st program):
Students considering becoming an environmental studies major or minor should become familiar with what the UW Oshkosh ES program is – and is not. All interdisciplinary programs, from African American studies to women’s studies, draw from various disciplines, which makes the design of interdisciplinary programs more complex than a traditional discipline such as biology or political science. The design of environmental programs is made more complex because it includes the natural sciences as well as the social sciences and humanities, and it can be tied to a pre-professional program such as natural resource management. The result is that there is probably more variety in environmental programs than in any other academic program. Each type of program has its own basic philosophy and goal, and its strengths and limitations.
