Department of Environmental Studies | Emory University
Welcome to Environmental Studies News & Events People in Environmental Studies

The Environmental Studies Department at Emory offers an interdisciplinary and integrative program designed to equip students with basic skills, capabilities, and knowledge to confront a suite of environmental issues. As such, it is rooted in relevant disciplines in the natural and social sciences, while modestly engaging the humanities and arts. Departmental course offerings may lead to a Master's of Public Health, a Bachelor of Science, or a Bachelor of Arts, as well as a minor in Environmental Studies. Thematically, the department combines the study of the earth's physical, chemical and biological systems with human and social systems. Topics offered in courses include: past and present environmental changes, geology, global earth systems, environmental policy, conservation, ecosystem ecology; energy; ecological economics, and environmental assessment and management. The department also offers field and integrative courses that compel students to synthesize concepts, methods and practice from relevant disciplines of the environment. Student internships and undergraduate research opportunities are emphasized.
