The program curriculum is designed to provide a solid foundation in the sciences, social sciences and humanities;
to build on these foundations in advanced coursework within and across a variety of disciplines; to develop the skills
needed to study human-environment interactions; and to encourage practical learning experiences that can prepare
students for active participation in the work force and in local and global communities.
