| The undergraduate
Environmental Studies Program (ESP) at UMass Boston is an interdisciplinary
program of study that helps students understand the underlying
causes of environmental problems and encourages a search for
solutions. In recognition of the complexity of environmental
issues, the Program is broadly based in the humanities, the
social sciences, and the sciences.
The Environmental
Studies Program supplements a student’s chosen major.
In addition to satisfying the requirements of a major within
an academic department, students in the ESP complete a set
of core courses, do advanced work in their chosen area of
specialization, and work on an environmental internship. ESP
courses may be used simultaneously to satisfy the general
education distribution and core requirements in the College
of Liberal Arts and the College of Science and Mathematics.
ESP offers
two tracks that provide environmental literacy and advanced
problem-solving skills to any UMass Boston student. The Environmental
Science Track is designed for students in the natural sciences,
while the Environment and Society Track is designed for students
in the social sciences and humanities.
