Return to: Academic Programs
The Environmental Science (EVS) major at Berry College is an interdisciplinary program for the study of the earth’s ecosystems and human interactions with those environments. Students in environmental science take a majority of courses in the natural sciences, but also engage the social sciences and humanities so that they understand and approach environmental problems in an interdisciplinary way. In addition to the environmental science core, students have the option of taking either a customized program of natural and social science/humanities electives or minoring in natural science, social science, or humanities. This flexibility allows our graduates to cater their coursework to a wider variety of career and educational opportunities in the public and private sectors. The Environmental Science program also gives students opportunities for internships, directed or independent studies, and cooperative research with faculty.
