EUS Requirements strike a balance between the interdisciplinary breadth necessary to address complex environmental problems and the depth and rigor of an individualized Focus Area. 

 

 

Focus Areas

 

·         Environmental Science

·         Global Perspectives on Environment, Society & Culture

·         Urban and Regional Studies

·         Environmental Humanities and the Arts

·         Agriculture and Food Systems

·         Economics, Policy and Development

 

 

Moderation Requirements:

 

1.     EUS 101

2.     EUS 102

3.     200-level EUS (or EUS cross-listed) course in one of three areas of study:

·         Social and/or Historical Analysis (Anthropology, Historical Studies, Political Studies, Sociology)

·         Economics (prerequisite: Econ 100 or the equivalent AP or transfer credits)

·         Laboratory Science (EUS Environmental Science course, Biology, Physics, Chemistry, or Psychology)

 

The moderation board normally consists of 3 EUS faculty members (core or affiliated, and including the advisor); however, one board member may be a non-EUS faculty member in the student’s Focus Area.
