environmental studies curriculum

Environmental Studies at Wellesley offers our own courses as well as environmentally-related courses from departments across campus.  We’re happy to help you find a course that will suit your needs whether you’re simply interested in finding out a bit more about the ecosystems we live in, the ethical issues involved in human interactions with the environment, or policy options for mitigating environmental problems; or are planning a major or a career addressing environmental issues.

The Environmental Studies program offers a major, a minor, and the possibility to undertake an honors thesis.  We can help guide you in choosing an environmentally-related study-abroad program or find courses at nearby schools.  We hope you’ll take some courses and discover how fascinating environmental studies can be.
