Environmental solutions cannot come from one type of knowledge or way of thinking, not just from politics or chemistry or economics or history.  They will come instead from leaders, thinkers, and innovators who can draw skills and knowledge from multiple fields of knowledge and work with teams of thinkers from every corner of the campus and the globe.

Our students take courses from across the curriculum to build an interdisciplinary understanding of the human relationship to the environment.
