...an unusual academic discipline in that it requires scientific knowledge about the natural world, as well as an understanding about ways in which humans interact with the natural world. We examine effects of human actions on the environment, and the means by which policies, regulations, and decisions influence human actions. We also examine human behavioral, cultural, and sociological interactions that affect the environment. Thus, the department is truly interdisciplinary and exemplifies the liberal arts approach to education.

The environmental studies minor strives to analyze the relationship of humans and their societies to the natural environment. This relationship involves three major components that are interconnected: (1) the benefits humans derive from their environment, such as the natural resources used to sustain societies; (2) the threat to humans from natural hazards such as landslides, earthquakes, floods, and volcanic eruptions; (3) the effect that human populations have on the environment, including pollution and other environmental degradation. The interactions of humans with the environment are not only influenced by variations in the natural environment such as the geology, geography, climate, flora, and fauna, but also by variations and characteristics of human cultures such as economics, government, and societal values and ethics.

The minor in environmental studies is an interdisciplinary program linked to a disciplinary major. The program is designed to broaden an understanding of both environmental science and policy. The program examines scientific, economic, political, cultural, and ethical concepts regarding the complex relationships between the natural world and the human-modified world in order to ensure a sustainable society for future generations. Students will be prepared for careers in the public and private sectors or graduate studies. The student's major field of study develops the disciplinary skills of inquiry and analysis, and the minor complements the major by providing the integration of approaches to address environmental issues.
http://academic.bowdoin.edu/environmental_studies/
Environmental Studies at Bowdoin reflects the college’s recognition that humans must learn to live in harmony with nature and that human activities are dependent upon natural processes. This recognition, coupled with an aspiration to present and future human well-being, provides a critical perspective from which to interpret history, science, politics, law, economy, religion, and the arts. A liberal arts education should promote environmental literacy: an understanding of the world around us - the built and the natural, the local and the global, our role in it, and our effects upon it.
http://www.brynmawr.edu/academics/fields_study/environmentalsciences.shtml
Environmental studies concern interactions taking place at the Earth’s surface – the site of intersection of the geosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere and biosphere, as well as our home as human beings. Accordingly, environmental studies are of necessity broadly multidisciplinary. Understanding the Earth’s responses to local and global perturbations requires that we focus our study on the interactions between inorganic, biologic and societal processes, not only in the present day, but through history and over geologic time as well. These interactions are best viewed as a dynamic, interlinked system. Understanding the structure of this system has become one of the most important long-term problems facing society in light of humankind’s increasing capacity — and increasing eagerness — to alter the environment.

Many of the problems that will face humanity in the 21st century will be environmental. The expanding human population and dwindling supplies of oil, water, and arable land may destabilize economic, political, and social institutions. The purpose of the Concentration in Environmental Studies is 1) to advertise the many courses in Furman's curriculum which address these environmental issues from different disciplinary perspectives and 2) to organize these courses into a program which will teach participating students: a) how the Earth functions as a system and supports life; b) how the growing human population is transforming this Earth system; c) the complex relationships that exist between culture (social, political, religious, and economic systems) and the environment, and d) that solutions are constructed in this social context. The capstone course, required of all those pursuing the Concentration in Environmental Studies, will allow students to see the interdisciplinary nature of environmental problem-solving, and to team-up and bring their particular skills together to address environmental issues.

Our ability to modify our environment has increased dramatically over the last several centuries. A host of recent events has forced us to become aware of the negative aspects of these modifications. More and more scientists are involved in seeking solutions to environmental problems as they work to increase our understanding of the causes, processes, and consequences of environmental change. The "typical" environmental scientist is a specialist in one of the traditional disciplines such as biology, chemistry, geology, physics, or engineering. However, he or she generally has a broad scientific understanding of environmental change that goes beyond the confines of his or her discipline. It also includes an understanding of how environmental issues affect and are affected by politics and economics. The environmental scientist will often work in a team with professionals from other backgrounds to study and solve environmental problems.
http://departments.juniata.edu/environmental/
The environment is a central issue here at the beginning of the 21th century. Paired forces, of exponentially increasing population and exponentially increasing consumption, result in complex, negative environmental impacts across the world. Understanding these impacts, to prevent them, to manage them or just to predict them, requires a variety of knowledge and skills. Environmental Science and Environmental Studies are two approaches to gaining this information.
http://www.kzoo.edu/regist/depts/envs/
...based upon the recognition that environmental and resource problems are not just biological, geological, economic, or political. Therefore, the concentration is structured as an interdisciplinary study by selecting appropriate courses from the natural and social sciences, as well as the humanities, in order to pool knowledge from across traditional disciplinary lines. This information is essential for an interdisciplinary assessment, analysis and evaluation of environmental problems.

The impact of humans on our environment has slowly been working its way to the forefront of national and international concerns. Scientists are just beginning to get a grasp on the complex interaction of natural phenomena and human activity. From the release of greenhouse and ozone depleting gases to dumping waste in our wataerways, how we react to environmental concerns will determine what kind of world we leave to our decendants. Will the air be safe to breathe? Can you go outside in the sunlight without risking skin cancer? How is nuclear waste being dealt with? These are questions that should concern everyone. The environmental science minor is designed to equip students of all majors to make environmentally sound decissions. Be it as scientists, engineers, governement officials, leaders in business or as citizens, students with an environmental science minor will account for the impact their work has on the global environment.
http://www.lfc.edu/academics/newcatalog/index.php?DeptID=ENVR&page=intro
The environment can be studied as the set of natural systems that determines the health of the planet, or as the variety of ways humans have influenced the environment around them. The program values the perspectives of many different disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Its majors learn a variety of ways to address environmental issues and the value of using an interdisciplinary approach to these topics. However, students are encouraged to build a set of disciplinary skills in addition to the broader exposure required by the major.

http://www.colleges.org/~enviro/courses/Trinity.html
The Environmental Studies minor is an interdisciplinary study of the Earth's environment and human interaction with that environment. Environmental Studies is a program of breadth, not concentration, in which students address environmental issues from natural science, economic, and sociocultural perspectives. The minor includes required courses in anthropology, biology, economics, and geoscience and electives in areas ranging from history to organic chemistry. Given the breadth of this minor, a significant overlap with a student's choice of Common Curriculum courses is both expected and encouraged.We believe that the combination of a strong, traditional undergraduate major with the minor in Environmental Studies is the best approach for any undergraduate who wants a career involved with environmental issues. Students who are interested in the natural sciences might major in biology, chemistry, engineering, geoscience, or physics. Students interested in environmental policy might major in economics, political science, or sociology. Students interested in communicating environmental concerns might major in communication, English, or art. You can combine any Trinity major with the Environmental Studies minor to design your own approach to our environment.
