Students in IBES' Environmental Sciences and Studies (ENVS) concentration learn how to tackle today’s urgent climate and sustainability challenges through a truly multidisciplinary education. Core faculty with joint appointments across the University—from sociology to geology to anthropology and more—provide diverse perspectives, equipping students with the skills to address complex issues through innovative problem-solving and interdisciplinary exploration.

Through a rigorous set of core courses, track requirements, and a capstone experience — as well as immediate access to real-world research opportunities and expert faculty — students gain the knowledge and skills needed to address the complex relationships between human systems and the natural world. These programs prepare our future leaders to make meaningful contributions toward building a more sustainable and equitable planet.

Both degrees provide interdisciplinary exposure to the natural and social sciences, as well as public policy.
