Courses in these options must be distributed across three departments. Environmental Studies majors are provided internship opportunities through assignments in public and private agencies on projects related to citizen action, environmental planning, or in research. Ten to twenty hours weekly are required. Supervision and evaluation are by agency personnel and the course is conducted by the instructor. The internship may be repeated once for credit.
Awards are limited to students with upper division or graduate standing.
A grade point average of 3.0 or higher is required, and demonstrated scholastic and creative ability in the field of Geography or Environmental Studies.

Students must select one of the following options. In addition to major requirements, every student must also complete the University requirements for graduation which are described in the Baccalaureate Degree Requirements chapter in the front of this catalog.
