About the course

Environmental issues are complex and multi-dimensional and cannot be understood or addressed from any single discipline. OU?s College of Arts and Sciences has established the environmental studies program for students who wish to develop knowledge and skills in specific areas related to environmental issues while remaining grounded in an interdisciplinary outlook. The environmental studies major offers an extremely flexible degree plan with a core of five courses, all but one selected from lists of options in physical and natural sciences and skills and methods. In addition to the core students must also select nine courses distributed over three basic categories: environmentally related humanities, natural sciences, and social sciences. The environmental studies major works well in combination with the nonprofit studies minor. It can also be a good double major with fields such as letters, political science, history, international and area studies, plant biology, biology, and communications. For those students with a strong interest in environmental issues who plan to major in business, journalism, education, geography, meteorology, or health sciences, the environmental studies major would work well as part of a double degree program. The environmental studies major is also a great lead in for graduate school in various areas of ecology, conservation, communications, journalism, law school, environmental education, resource management, and environmental management, among others.
