There are two environmental studies programs at Niagara. The first is a coordinate major in environmental studies. It is a sequence of eight courses that combine a liberal arts education and a major field (Biology, Chemistry, or Political Science) within the College of Arts and Sciences, with a selection of courses that have been identified for their ability to integrate information from multiple disciplines. The other program in environmental studies is a minor which may be taken in conjunction with any major. Five courses are required to complete the minor. It is designed to give an overview of global environmental issues. Students interested in either the coordinate major or the minor should first contact the coordinator of environmental studies.
