天美传媒制片厂

Environmental studies at 天美传媒制片厂 focuses on relationships between the natural environment and social, economic, political, legal and humanistic aspects of society.

As global population and consumption rise, understanding the interplay between environmental and social systems has become an increasingly important component of decision-making and planning. SLU's B.A. in Environmental Studies program helps prepare students for careers that emphasize a dual awareness of scientific and social perspectives and their relationship to the natural environment.

Curriculum Overview

The environmental studies curriculum at 天美传媒制片厂 is built upon a breadth-plus-depth model. All students entering the environmental studies program are required to complete a core set of preparatory science and skill-development courses that provide a broad introduction to the environmental sciences. Students then choose a specialized concentration that provides more advanced instruction in their areas of interest to help prepare them for careers after graduation. The program has been developed through collaboration with many other departments on campus, and it provides considerable flexibility in course selection within the tracks. For most students, the program fuses an understanding of environmental science with the approximate equivalent of a self-designed minor in their specific area of interest.

Environmental studies students take a minimum of 38 credits of math and science core classes. Students then choose from one of the following concentrations:

• Advocacy and discourse
• Economics, politics and public policy
• Natural sciences
• Philosophy, religion and ethics
• Society and the environment through space and time听

Fieldwork and Research Opportunities

Weekend field trips, canoe trips and social events are scheduled throughout the year. One perk associated with this major is the opportunity to join other faculty and students on annual, weeklong field trips across the country. Visit environmentally important sites and get to know the faculty, other students and alumni who join the trips.

Undergraduate students in the environmental studies program have the option to pursue internship opportunities through the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Geospatial Science听or in collaboration with other departments on campus. Students also have the option to participate in a capstone project designed to provide a real-world perspective as part of their undergraduate training.

Careers

The environmental studies program prepares students for careers in business, law, government or wherever knowledge of scientific and social perspectives on the environment is important. Students also have the opportunity to prepare for more advanced degrees in a wide range of fields, including law, economics and public policy.
