The Environmental Studies Program (ENVS) offers courses on a wide range of
topics including environmental science, ecological economics, and international
environmental issues, conservation of biodiversity, ecological agriculture,
environmental justice/racism, environmental journalism, and environmental
law.
On Earth Day 1996, the Dartmouth faculty approved a new Major in Environmental Studies. We also
offer a Minor in Environmental Science and a Minor in
Environmental Studies. Undergraduates may also use our courses to
modify a major in a discipline such as Biology, Geography, Government,
Economics, and Earth Sciences.
Environmental Studies Program has its own library, Hornig Library, and close ties with the Dartmouth Organic Farm.
A special feature of Environmental Studies is a Foreign Study Program in South Africa that is
extremely popular and helps our students understand the global aspects of
environmental problems. Each fall term, twenty Dartmouth undergraduates
participate in our off-campus program currently based in South Africa, which
gives students observational and hands-on experience with issues of population,
land and water use, ecotourism, and resource management in a developing
country.
Students with interests in the environment may conduct independent studies
with our faculty and/or take advantage of the many off-campus internships and scholarships that
are available. We strongly support linking classroom work with hands-on
learning experiences, both on- and off-campus.
