The Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science degree in Environmental Studies is awarded upon the completion of 120 credits, including at least 59 credits in the major (15 courses, an internship, and a senior thesis for the BA; 18 courses, internship, and thesis for the BS).

By taking an additional 12 environmental studies credits, a student can earn the BA with a concentration. There are three concentrations: Urban Ecosystems; Sustainable Design; and Environment, Society, and Public Policy. Concentration credits are earned by taking three 3000- or 4000-level courses approved for the particular concentration. Students are encouraged but not required to complete a concentration.

*A student may elect an alternative course if approved by an academic advisor or a core faculty member in Environmental Studies.
