Environmental Studies Program
 Bucknell University
provides unusually broad
environmental studies
options for undergraduates.
A bachelor of science and a bachelor of arts majors are offered to introduce students to the various great scientific and human issues in contemporary environmental affairs. Few environmental studies programs in America offer the breadth of courses that Bucknelll's does -- anthropoglogy, engineering, chemistry, philosophy, religion, biology, geology, economics, geography, and philosophy are all represented. The environmental studies program at Bucknell was established in 1979. BA and BS majors in environmental studies have been awarded since 1990. Presently about 20 students a year graduate with degrees in environmental studies -- typically 4 BS and 16 BA. Five faculty members have joint or entire appointments in environmental studies, and two dozen others contribute to the department with courses, advising, committee support, and "capstone" courses.
