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 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 that addresses environmental issues.

The Environmental Studies program offers a major, a minor, and the opportunity 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 invite you to take some courses and discover how fascinating environmental studies can be.
