The environmental studies program leads to a minor. It is designed to provide a foundation for understanding and appreciating environmental problems in their almost endless diversity. By its nature, this field contains a very wide spectrum of considerations ranging from the social and ethical to the scientific. Therefore the student may approach the program in different ways depending on his other interests and studies, but in any case it is strongly recommended that the student have some background in the natural sciences. The program is administered by a special committee of the faculty and each student seeking the minor is individually counselled by the committee or by its chairman, who is the official adviser for students in environmental studies.
