UW-La Crosse has launched a new major designed to prepare students for careers in the critical, fast-growing field of environmental science.UWL students are now able to declare an Environmental Science major after the Universities of Wisconsin Board of Regents approved the program in December.
The major, housed in the newly renamed Department of Geography and Environmental Science, draws from the natural and social sciences to provide students with the skills and knowledge needed to address pressing environmental issues facing society.
“This is a really unique major because it’s interdisciplinary across colleges and departments,” says Professor Joan Bunbury, who played a key role in the major’s development. “You’re pulling in natural science and social science courses from the College of Science and Health and the College of Arts, Social Sciences, and Humanities.”..
