Advanced courses are selected from specified disciplines depending on whether the student has a natural science emphasis or a social science emphasis. Finally, students must plan and complete an independent research project during their senior year. Students are encouraged to earn degrees in both Environmental Studies and a traditional discipline. Graduate schools and potential employers tell us repeatedly that their best candidates have both the experience of looking at complex issues from several viewpoints, as offered in ENS, and the special skills learned in a narrower focus. The ENS degree requirements are deliberately designed to be conducive to pursuit of another major at the same time.
