Overview
The Environmental Science, Policy, and Management Department's Conservation and Resource Studies (CRS) major is an interdisciplinary program designed for students interested in environmental issues and areas of interaction among natural resources, population, energy, technology, societal institutions, and cultural values.
What will I study?
Because students draw on the course offerings of the entire campus, they have the flexibility to incorporate any combination of the social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, or humanities to address complex environmental problems.
Students may also draw upon appropriate community resources in the development of individual programs of study. Sample topics from past students include environmental justice and education, conservation and culture, energy and environmental policy.
What can I do with this major?
CRS graduates are qualified for careers in
- environmental consulting, education, health, or law
- community, urban, or regional planning
- other related areas of environmentalism in public agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, and private companies.
Graduates also matriculate into masters and doctoral programs in geography, law, and public health.
