Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies

Program Overview

The Environmental Studies program at Saint Peter’s is aimed at providing students with the educational background and leadership skills necessary to effectively address the issues involved in the social, economic, political, cultural and technological context of ecological sustainability.
The Environmental Studies major will prepare students interested in the environment to enter the corporate world, government, media, community-based organizations, or the legal profession. Although based on a solid science foundation, it is not focused on students who are interested in a career in science. Students majoring in Environmental Studies will be able to:

  • Synthesize and apply knowledge from the natural and social sciences, business and the humanities to the study of environmental issues
  • Critically analyze environmental issues using an interdisciplinary approach
  • Incorporate ethical and legal concepts in the examination of environmental issues
  • Apply principles of economics and political strategies for the betterment of the environment
  • Use problem solving, creativity, and the scientific method to generate solutions to environmental problems and maximize sustainability
  • integrate and apply issues related to social justice into an understanding of environmental issues and policies
  • Integrate theory and practice through field and/or internship experiences.
